It was a stirring moment when Kerri Strug ran limping down the runway for her final gymnastics vault at the 1996 Summer Olympics at Atlanta, and even more so when she landed on one foot and held, obviously in a great deal of pain. And then, later, to see her unable even to walk, carried by her coach, Bela Karolyi, to the podium to receive the gold medal with her team! She had overcome and won the prize. Saint Paul urges Christians to have a similar level of commitment to Jesus Christ and to life through him.
