Paul says that the person who has discovered Jesus Christ and determined to follow Christ; becomes like the participant who has entered upon a great race; and must now set themself to giving everything they have for the sake of gaining the winner’s prize.You see it now, just ahead of you, end of the race. Notice, the participant along with those also in the race. Things that get into our way, a stone we stumble over, angry, jealous brothers who cast you into a dry well then sell you into slavery, off to Egypt. Peter who is in the boat before and just with Jesus who walks in with the storm. What can we make of the mix of issues and personalities but possible salvation.
