THE AMAZING RACE
The amazing race is a reality TV show where couples are sent to a foreign country where they must race via train, taxi, bus, bikes and their feet, from point to another where they get the next set of instructions for the next challenge. The goal is for one of the couples to get to the finish line before anyone else, and the prize is one million dollars.
The Christian life can be likened to a race just as Apostle Paul did in Phil. 3:13-14, "Brothers and sisters, i do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and moving toward what is ahead. I press toward the goal to win the prize" (Phil. 3:13-14). He didn't allow his past failures to weigh him down or his present success to make him complacent. He acknowledge the fact that he is not there yet and needs to keep pressing on.
We are running this race too. Irrespective of our failures or success, lets keep pressing on toward the ultimate goal. We have to acknowledge the fact that we are incomplete and only God's grace can help us to be strong finishers in the Christian life.
