The Promised One made us a promise, that he was going to come again. In his appearing at the first Christmas, he brought salvation, peace with God, and God’s grace into our lives. He died for our sins, rose from death, and forty days later ascended to heaven. But he promised to return and establish justice and righteousness upon the earth. We are to live in anticipation of his return, saying No to sin and growing in righteousness.

Hebrews 12:1-3 calls us to run the race of the Christian life and put off any hindrances and sins that prevents us from doing so and then persevere in running the race while looking at Jesus. In this message we’ll investigate these instructions and see how we can finish the race successfully.

Never in his life had he been able to see. Most people even had the reason he had been born blind completely wrong. In giving sight to this blind man, Jesus not only taught us about God’s hidden purposes, but created a powerful and undeniable witness of who he was. Spiritually blind eyes could have been opened by this miracle, but many were not. Are your eyes open to who Jesus really is? Give him a chance to help you to really see.
