Hebrews 12:1-3
Being a Christian can be compared to running a race. You have to have a pace. And you have to finish. It is easy to quit. It is easy to get distracted. It is easy to tire out. But when you have endurance and overcome all the obstacles in your way it is all worth it in the end. Jesus had to run a race. He had to hold on while being tempted. The author of my devotional lays it out easy to understand, he says the scriptures say Jesus "held on", that implies that He could have let go. He didn't. It also says in scripture that He was tempted, not that the devil tried to tempt or that he attempted to tempt Jesus. It says that Jesus was tempted. And in the face of temptation, forty straight days of it, he "held on". Refusing to let go.
