The Race Set Before Us

In Hebrews 12: 1-2, there is a race set before us. This race is a picture of the believer who runs for the glory that he hopes to possess. The place he runs in is this world; A world that is full of pitfalls, snares, hurdles, and difficulties. There are mountains to be climbed, oceans to be crossed, and a wilderness to be traversed. The length of the race is a lifetime. So clearly is this race declared that if any man fail he will have no one to blame but himself. But so difficult is the race that if any man finish the course he must give all of the glory to God. The prize is Christ. To be with Him, like Him, and partaker of His glory. The prize is heavenly glory and everlasting life. The reason for the race is to declare those for whom the prize has been revealed. Untold millions will run the race but only true faith will finish the course. We are given several things here that mark those who truly run for the prize.

They do run. To run this race presupposes an eye for the prize. Only those who see the glorious end will endure the hardships.

They run looking. Believers do not run blind-folded or in the dark. The day star has risen in their hearts and they, like the great cloud of witnesses before them, have Christ plainly in view.

They run unhindered. They lay aside every weight and sin that would beset them seeing in Christ alone, the beginning, end, and all in between.

They run patiently. The true runner of faith runs with a confident patience knowing that the one he looks to rules over the very providence in which he runs. He runs patiently knowing that the same God who called him has predestined his end.

The true believer runs in wisdom. He runs and looks, and in his looking he considers Him who has already finished the course and is set down at the right hand of God. He runs considering the excellency of his righteousness, the sufficiency of his sacrifice and the glory of his person. The believer runs in the wisdom of satisfied justice and approved righteousness seeing his God just in his justification of those who believe.

Only true faith will finish the course and claim the prize. May God give us the heart of his apostle who said, “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14)”
