The sweatshirt I’m wearing today is from last year’s Monumental Marathon. I developed an injury about halfway through my training, so now I have a sweatshirt for a race I didn’t run making it look like I did something I didn’t do.
Hi, I’m Shawn from Sherwood Oaks Christian Church.
The New Testament compares following Jesus to running a race. Faith requires endurance and discipline. Training and perseverance. By grace, God gives us everything we need to run the race set before us.
But, there are times in my faith journey when, instead of running the race, I’m just wearing the SWAG. I give the appearance of following Jesus without the substance of it.
Can you relate?
What’s amazing is that God’s grace hasn’t given up on me yet...and He won’t give up on you, either. Instead, He continues to pursue us with His love and invite us into a deeper relationship with him.
So are you running the race, or just wearing the SWAG? Giving the appearance of faith without the substance. Jesus has so much more for you. And, if you let him, he’ll take you on a journey that is better than anything you can imagine.
