The Story of Eric Liddell
An Olympic run wasn’t his most important race.
Eric Liddell was born to run. From childhood, his physical abilities brought honor and fame – culminating in a gold medal at the 1924 Olympics. But it was another run that really mattered: the race of life mentioned in Hebrews 12. Eric Liddell’s commitment to that race – and to God – was so strong that he once skipped on Olympic qualifier because it was held on Sunday. His sacrificia, committed faith was chronicled decades later in the award-winning movie Chariots of Fire.
At the height of his fame, Eric traded tack shoes for hiking boots, taking the gospel message to the vast land of China. His life there was cut short, but the shadow he cast was long – with millions still finding challenge from his faithful example.
