In Phillipians 2 verse 16 it reads ‘You offer the teaching that gives life. So when Christ comes again. I can be happy because my work was not wasted. I ran the race and won’ (NCV)
Link to this verse in Phillipians 3 verse 14 it says ‘I keep trying to reach the goal and get the prize for which God called me through Christ to the life above’ (NCV)
What an amazing two verses. These are great challenges for us. The challenge of keeping on trying to reach the goal that Christ has set out for me and has called me to, is a challenge we have to lived up to every day and in every interaction we have with others and the work / sport we do. It would be amazing for each one of us to be able to say that (when Christ comes again), that we ran the race and won! This does not imply the physical sporting race but rather the race of life for Christ our Lord and saviour. Does the ‘teaching’ / things I do give life and am I contributing towards this race. Is the work I do, a waste?
So how is my race coming along?
