My servant Paul exhorted believers to run the race of life with the goal to win the prize. All of us are in the race as believers and the prize will be given to us at the end of the race when we meet Jesus face to face.
The race we are in right now is a team effort. It is a relay race in which the baton is passed from one runner to another. When one runner has run a measured distance then the baton is passed to another runner. The strength of each runner is vital.
Every runner is trained to run the length he is given well. Jesus' words to Peter is an exhortation for all in the body of Christ. He said that He prayed that Peter's faith not fail him, and it did not. We join together in this relay race petitioning our Lord with faith that as a team together through prayers filled with faith, we all will claim the prize.
