Hitting the Wall

Marathon runners know how it feels to hit the wall. It’s the point when they feel they can’t go on, but they must break through if they want to finish. In his psalms, David often wrote about being in a pit and begged God to rescue him. When life feels like a solid wall in our paths, or adversity plunges us into pits, we look for a lifeline. On the cross, our Lord and Savior Jesus hit His wall and descended into His pit. He died. But He didn’t stay dead! On Easter morning, He broke through that wall and rose to finish His work here on earth. His sacrifice was complete, and He gave us our lifeline, our hope in eternity.
