The Summer Olympics in Tokyo have come and gone. Athletes from all over the world came to Tokyo to compete. The apostle Paul used the analogy of the athlete to make a comparison to the Christian. In this message, we go over several passages where Paul used the analogy of an endurance runner or athlete. We also extend the analogy of endurance running based on personal experience to cover aspects of the Christian life.
