I would think that endurance must be joined to whatever we are enduring for. A mother endures the pains of childbirth for the joy of her baby, an athlete for the victor’s circle, and a soldier to secure freedom for their loved ones. Christ endured the cross for the joy of securing our forgiveness and the pleasure of our company in glory. What is the joy set before me? For what do I endure? For what do I run the race?
