Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race this is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus Hebrews 12:1
It takes a certain single minded devotion to run the race to the finish line. There is always sin and obstacles along the way to trip us up, so we need to be careful. We need to listen to the right voices and reject the wrong. In the Land of Oz, Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Lion, and the Scarecrow found that by following "the yellow brick road", they would find what they needed. We need a commitment to stay on the blood sprinkled path of Jesus, keeping our eyes on the prize at all times.
