Precious
But the story does not end there.
There is another race.
Not one of speed, but of faith.
Not one of muscle, but of surrender.
Not one where you strive alone, but one where victory has already been won.
In this second race, the Champion has already crossed the finish line.
His name is Jesus.
Where humanity struggled, He prevailed.
Where sin held chains, He broke them.
Where death claimed dominion, He rose in triumph.
The first race required strength.
The second requires acceptance.
You do not run this one to earn victory.
You receive it.
Just as you once entered the Palace and were given life, now you are invited to enter eternal life—not by outpacing others, but by accepting the victory secured on your behalf.
God offers the Crown again.
But this time, it is not awarded to the fastest.
It is given to those who say yes.
