As we enter Hebrews chapter 12, Pastor Kevin reminds us that Scripture describes the Christian life as a race — A race that requires long-distance endurance. Hebrews 12:1-2 is not a call for Christians, who are not running the race, to decide to get in the race and begin running. Rather, these verses are a reminder that the true believer is in this race, and they need to remember what it looks like and what is required to continue running the race until Jesus returns.
