The Price Paid to Embrace and Live in Eternity NOW

8/9/2024

“You can’t outrun a dog.” A PR, personal record, by nearly a HALF SECOND in 400m, is amazing. The 400 is PAINFUL, a pure sprint AND pure distance event. “Pacing” in the 400 is kind of a joke. This guy did it out of pure will! Congrats Bro.

Watch the finish here. An amazing investment of your 44 seconds.

For the first time in human history, five runners were under 44 seconds in a 400m race.

Consider that fewer than 1% of college 100m races are won by a time of 10 seconds or better. 10.41 to 10.8 seconds is Division 1 elite sprinter status.

Quincy Hall did FOUR of these consecutively! And he still had the courage and hunger for the finish line, which is a challenge to us all. “Participation Award?” Ha!

I’ve seen many times “another gear” in a sporting event. This was not that. This was heart.

Maybe this isn’t just about “Track” or the Olympics? “Run YOUR race to Win?”

Expert analyst, “I have never seen anyone run the 400 like that..”

It reminds me a bit of the price paid to embrace and live in Eternity NOW, the “Mystery...”

Ephesians 3... “For this reason I, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you — if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets.”

Colossians 1... “I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church, of which I became a servant according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God, the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we proclaim, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man complete and whole in Christ Jesus. To this end I also labor to fatigue, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.”
