Just A Thought

KINGDOM OLYMPICS

(Hebrews 12:1) Wherefore seeing we also are encompassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which does so easily beset us, and let us RUN THE RACE that is set before us …. etc.

(1 Corin. 9:24) Know ye not that they who RUN IN A RACE run all (the full distance without quitting), but one receives the prize, so run that ye may obtain. Notice it declares that we are to run to obtain the prize (medal) … the way has already been shown to us in Christ-Jesus who has won the ‘gold-medal’ and from it all future gold medals (yours and mine) have been cast.

Looking at the Pattern of Moses’ Tabernacle and desiring to keep to that pattern, we observe that the main metal of the outer court (Passover link) is BRONZE. Similarly the main metal of the Holy place is SILVER (Pentecost link) whilst the main metal for the holiest-of-all (Tabernacles link) is GOLD.

(Philippians 3:14) ...reaching forth unto those things which are before, (14) I press toward the mark for the prize (GOLD MEDAL) of the high calling of God in Christ-Jesus.

The bronze and silver medals are truly wonderful to have … but the prize … the gold medal is THE LIFE OF CHRIST in all His resurrection fulness.
