Hebrews 12:1 tells us “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us.” Now, running a race isn’t a particularly resonant metaphor for me, but this scripture often comes to my mind. The images of putting aside things that are unnecessary or counterproductive remind me just to focus on doing what is essential and right. But it’s the “cloud of witnesses” image that uplifts me. What beautiful language. We’re not simply watched or supported by our predecessors in faith. They’re surrounding us, even lifting us and moving us forward.

We’re connected to our biblical ancestors not only through our faith or the waters of baptism, but also by literal water that has been cycling from earth to sky for millions of years. The same water molecules that nourished plants and alleviated thirst at the time the Hebrews passage was written are still supporting life today.
