In the Oxford crew, you will see these men who are sweating and straining and their movements are incredibly synchronized as they pull the long oars through the water. What is interesting is that these men have their backs to the finish line. How do they pace themselves and how do they know when to sprint? The answer is simple they focus on the coxswain. He is the guy with a megaphone sitting at the end of the boat facing the crew. He is the only one who knows where the finish line is. So the men at the oars focus on him, listen to him, obey his commands, and count on him to coach them to the finish line. He will pace them, he will encourage them, and they trust in him implicitly to get them across the finish line in the strongest possible way. They are counting on the coxswain to enable them to finish strong. We must learn to do the same thing with Jesus Christ!
