Dung gate
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such great
clouds of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that
so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance that race marked out for
us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy
set before Him endured the cross, scorning it’s shame, and sat down at the
right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured such position from
sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Hebrew 12:1-3
This life is a race
- a marathon, and the Gospel should be passed on. But how will we run fast and
aim for the goal if we have so much baggage with us? We run with a backpack full
of baggage. We do not lay at His feet the sins that so easily entangled. We
refuse to be truly open, first to Him, then to our brothers. If many of us run
like this, then it is no wonder the race is not finished yet. We are so slow in
running that it leads to slow spreading of the Gospel. May we all throw off everything that hinders, and
remember that all sins were paid on The
Cross. We are all standing behind the Cross! The enemy wants us to see our
“SIN” but God wants us to see His “SON”. Throw the dung! Run, pass
on the Gospel and Finish Well!
