The Christian Life is compared to a marathon, one which requires perseverance and endurance. Although as Christian we may face several tests and trials we must continue. We look to Jesus who, in this marathon, is our lead runner. He came to earth and he suffered mockery and shame. He went to the cross and endured pain and suffering so that he could provide redemption for the whole human race. Therefore, don't give up. When the road gets tough the best cure is to fix our eyes on Jesus the perfecter of our faith.
