The Christian life is like an endurance race, an ultra-marathon.

The author of Hebrews calls us to run this race with perseverance and endurance.

He also shows us three aid stations that God has provided along the way. God has given us the examples of those who have gone before us. They faced the dangers and struggles of this world by keeping their eyes on the promises of God.

God has given us the Holy Spirit to help us to remove obstacles along the way. Some obstacles are good things we pursue rather than the better service to God. Other obstacles are the sins that entangle us.

And God has given us Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. We set our eyes on Him as we run the race before us.
