Here's something worth remembering often...
There is a long train of faithful believers who have gone before you.
This succession of saints goes back centuries, even thousands of years.
It includes famous Bible characters like Noah, Abraham and Moses (Heb.11).
And it consists of even more lesser known figures too...
... like devoted grandparents, and believers from some past century in a remote location nobody knows of anymore.
The reason for remembering such folks is to not only honor their memory, but to encourage you in your own race...
So you'd bear in mind what you're facing is not unique, as your ancestors confronted similar circumstances...
And, so you'd give your all to your stretch of this kingdom marathon we're in... with your eyes fixed on Jesus.
Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us (Heb.12:1).
