So as we start a new year, “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, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. The only way to run the race of faith with endurance to the end, the only way to get free of the weights that slow our pace and the sins that trip up our feet, is to be captivated by the infinitely more glorious reality of God’s love toward us in Christ!
