As we go through 2012 we all look forward. Certain events are already mapped out; our birthday anniversary, exams, etc. One that our nation is proud to host is the Olympic Games in summer. We have been preparing for this the last few years.

 

In the New Testament Paul writes in Acts 20:24

 - However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

 

Here Paul uses a race as a metaphor for life. To win the race an athlete must train and work hard to improve. They must prepare themselves for the coming race and practice doing the right things to achieve the desired result.

 

In life we must do the same. If you wish to find out what Paul means by the good news of God's grace, come and visit a church near you and ask.
