[:en]THE TWELFTH MAN
A&M University football stadium has a large sign “HOME OF THE 12TH MAN”. Each football team is allowed 11 players on the field, and the 12th Man is someone called by the coach to be ready to replace an injured player. Although he never entered the game, but his willingness to remain in the sideline greatly encouraged the team.
Hebrews 11 describes heroes of the faith who faced great trials and remained loyal to God. They were the 12th Man standing with us while we are still on the field of faith’s journey. Let us run our race of faith with strength and confidence knowing that “Jesus is the pioneer and perfecter of faith” (Heb. 12:2) – (David McCasland)[:]
