What Is the Hardest Race You Can Run?

  • Saturday Sabbath

In the world today there are a lot of competitive sports and competitions; trial. But there is one trial that tops them all called, The World’s Toughest Race, and in this race there are people from around the world that enter this competition. They’re endurance is tested through multiple types of terrain; land, jungles, rivers, oceans, muddy hills, mountains, deserts, snow through means of sailing, walking, and being dropped in via a helicopter from the sky, traversing locations from around the world totaling 671 kilometers or 416.94 miles. The team that finishes receives a trophy and bragging rights, attracting many endorsements. Now, seeing what all these teams have to go through, one would think that this type of race would be the race that is the hardest race ever.

But hands down, the human race to live your life like Christ is the hardest race ever. This means it doesn’t require so much physical strength or mental stamina but the one that endures to the end will win the prize.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 says:
24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

In other words how can I tell others how to live, when I’m not doing what the Lord say to do? Some may identify this type of behavior hypocritical, or not practicing what you preach. The last thing is the verse reads you have to keep yourself straight before God or as the young generation says, “keep it 100,” or in the words of my generation, “lets keep it real,” or further in the words of generation X, “for real for real.” You might even say “don’t perpetrate to subjugate.” If people do believe when they have been told and seen the truth of the word of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, then I must believe what this book says:

2 Corinthians 4:3-6
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

In my conclusion, read Matthew 24:5-12

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

In Jesus name, it is so.
