Wedloop Van Het Leven
Wedloop Van Het Leven
Wedloop Van Het Leven
You get born, you live and in the end you die. And what you do in live,
what you achieve is whether you succeed your race.
o This probably isn’t a new idea…you may have heard people say
that life is one giant rat race.
• Let’s think about races for a minute:
Picture a race you’ve seen; with the Olympics so close, you can probably
picture one easily.
T is niet zomaar een balletje trappen. EK WK, geen idee wat er is. Maar
Ogen gericht op 1 doel
Als je niet gefocust bent ga je fouten maken. Ik zit te denken voor een
voorbeeld. Maar
In ieder geval
Hebrews 12:1-3
But we can have victory, no matter how many trials we face, if we fix our
eyes on Jesus.
After the heroes of faith. It says, life is like a race.
Take a look at what these verses ask the believer to do: lay aside our
love of the world and our sin and run with endurance.
It may be tempting for us to give up right from the start, knowing that
we’ll never be able to truly lay aside everysin.
So, what do you do when you feel like there’s nothing to keep you going?
The Holy Spirit acts as a shield for life’s struggles and pain – not so that
we won’t have to experience them, but so that we can see them for what
they are: an obstacle that will grow us and mold us more into the image
of Christ.
Life as a Christian doesn’t mean that the Holy Spirit takes away your
pain and heartache.
Instead, the Holy Spirit helps you overcome.
Fix your eyes on Jesus, and you’ll cross the finish line into eternal life
with God.
That doesn’t mean that live will go easy.
PAUL ACTIVITY
2 Timotheus 4:7-8
Paulus, die we net gezien hebben. Had ook de wedloop. Zijn leven ging niet altijd over rozen.
En fouten maken is niet erg. Je moet het niet doen. Maar als het gebeurt, weet dat er
vergeving is.
Derhalve heeft hij de strijd overwonnen.
Hij krijgt nu de belonging
Proverbs 4:25-27 “Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Make level
paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm. Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your
foot from evil.”

Below is an activity to help you pray about keeping focused on Jesus, including praying
about the things that distract you.
Grab a piece of paper, a pencil (or coloured pencils) and a felt tip or marker pen.
On the paper, using the pencil or coloured pencils, draw some waves. They don’t have to be
particularly good, don’t worry!
Draw a wave for each thing you can think of that pulls your focus off Jesus and distracts you.
These could be things that you find overwhelming; people, school, the current Coronavirus
situation, sometimes even fun stuff, worries or fears etc.
Take a moment to pray that Jesus would help you with these things and not let them distract
you.
Does this mean that they will go away? No. But you can ask the holy spirit to help you to
keep focused on Jesus.
What makes the race of life possible, according to the
scripture we just read?
