"Therefore, seeing we are surriounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us run with patience the race set before us, looking unto JESUS, The Author and Perfector of our faith. Who, for the joy set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and Is now sat down at the right hand of God."...[ HEBREWS 12;1-3 ]

In Roman mythology, the god Janus looked back at the old year and forward to the new one. He was a god with 2 heads loking in opposite directions at the same time !!! We, as Christians look forward to Jesus, the One Head of the Church, militant and triumphant...on earth and in heaven...The One Who will come again...

When we consider that the 'race' Is a marathon, we need not fret over momentary difficulties, but by faith we will overcome them. One key to this Is not to be 'doubleminded', as James states in his letter. Keeping our focus on The One Who Has Overcome will enable us to do the same.
