Participating in His Race

Last Sunday we talked about our prayer for this upcoming season together, that "time of refreshing may come" and that dry things may come back to life. Did you experience the physical release of refreshment from the rain yesterday? This Sunday we will be talking about the cloud of witnesses that have gone before us. What does this mean for us to be surrounded by a cloud of witnesses? And furthermore what it means for Jesus to run the race in front of us on our behalf and how we participate in this.

As we behold the face of God in the face of Christ, we are transformed into his image. This is what it means to be fully human—to become like Jesus, the truly human one, and to grow more and more in the freedom of the children of God.
