Maandiko
Waebrania 12:1-2
1Basi na sisi pia, kwa kuwa tunazungukwa na wingu kubwa la mashahidi namna hii, na tuweke kando kila mzigo mzito, na dhambi ile ituzingayo kwa upesi; na tupige mbio kwa saburi katika yale mashindano yaliyowekwa mbele yetu, 2tukimtazama Yesu, mwenye kuanzisha na mwenye kutimiza imani yetu; ambaye kwa ajili ya furaha iliyowekwa mbele yake aliustahimili msalaba na kuidharau aibu, naye ameketi mkono wa kuume wa kiti cha enzi cha Mungu.
Run the Race
Tafakari fupi ya kukusaidia kuliishi Neno la Mungu.
Hebrews pictures the Christian life as a long-distance race. Runners do not carry extra weight; they lay it aside. Some weights are sins, and some are simply distractions that slow us down. The race is run "with patience," which means steady endurance, not a sprint. And the secret is where we look: "unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith." He started your faith, and He will finish it. Keep your eyes on Him today.
