Jesus changes everything, and so we must count all things as loss in view of the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ.

We can derive our confidence and assurance for our faith in the righteousness of Christ. 

God values all life, no matter when it starts or how close to the finish line. 

We must faithfully engage in the work and ministry of Christ, especially the ministry of encouragement.

We can find joy when we run with Christ's mission across the the finish line.

Let's set aside any complaining attitudes so that the light of Christ may shine bright.

How does knowing how things end impact our heart for the lost?

We cannot live driven by fear, but be driven by the loving, awesome, wonder, and worship of the glory and greatness of our God.
