When you have run your distance of days, weeks, months, or years instead of passing the baton; you laid it down. You have grown weary and can’t endure the rest of the distance. “…Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us…” (Hebrews 12:1 NASB). “…The fastest runner doesn’t always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn’t always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don’t always lead successful lives.…” (Ecclesiastes 9:11 NLT). IT IS THE ONE WHO DEPENDS UPON THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT TO EMPOWER THEM TO ENDURE TO THE END IN ORDER TO MAKE IT TO THE FINISH LINE (ETERNAL LIFE).

A team is disqualified if the baton is lost, or dropped, or laid down, or improperly exchanged from one sprinter to the other.
The last sprinter in the final position is called an ANCHOR and is usually the FASTEST, the BEST, or most EXPERIENCED participant on the TEAM. “…Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win…” (1 Corinthians 9:24 NLT).
The ANCHOR basically has the responsibility for catching up or making up for lost time or any shortcomings of the other TEAM members by TAKING THEM to the FINISH LINE. “…I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful…” (2 Timothy 4:7 NLT).
The Christian journey is often like a relay race and the baton represents your HOPE. “…run with endurance…” (Hebrews 12:1 NASB).

Though you are, supposedly, on Jesus’ relay team it seems he abandoned the RACE a long time ago. You have come to believe there is NO ONE to pass the baton too. “…When He heard that he was sick, He then stayed two days longer in the place where He was…” (John 11:5-6 NASB).
