As the race began, it had seemed obvious that Eric Liddell was overmatched. Now the crowd in the Olympic stadium hushed as this runner from Scotland refused to be passed. As Eric crossed the finish line, the crowd erupted in applause heard all over Paris. Eric Liddell had done the impossible. A new world record had been set ! Eric's refusal earlier that week to run on Sunday in the Olympic 100-meter race had stunned the world. Now this incredible victory in the 400-meteer race further strengthened his belief in God's promise, "He who honors Me, I will honor." Years later, Eric Liddell would be tested far beyond mere physical ability as a missionary to China. His Character, perseverance, and endurance are a challenging example for all who would obey the call to bring the gospel to the nations.
