Hebrews 12:1

12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, (ESV)

A friend of mine taught on Hebrews 12:1-3 this Sunday. And when he talked about the race analogy that “the author” uses, I couldn’t help but think of the childhood game Red Light, Green Light.

In many ways, our growth as Christians is like this. We all run toward the goal, but at some point, He will return and call the final “Red Light.” Where will you be standing when He does? How hard are you running in the meantime?
