'Who Really Wins The Race? ' Poem by Linda Winchell

We usually think of winners
As those who win the race.
But with that thought… we’re very much mistaken
Mislead…is what it makes.

The honor clearly belongs to “Jesus”
Far superior… to any known athlete.
For He ran the race… and won it for us
And now sits… in His Father’s place.

You see…we either honor Him…
Placing Him above… anyone else.
Or we do bask in His love…and grace
For there is none above Him
That would have ever taken Jesus’ place.
