As I have listened to "experts" talk about the Super Bowl and New England’s historic feat, so many of them say it won’t be nearly as impressive if they lose the Super Bowl. Many have said that a loss during the regular season would have been less damaging than going undefeated to this point and losing the "big game."
Can you imagine the pressure those players must feel? Sure, in interview after interview they say it's just another game. But let's be honest, these players must feel immense pressure.
Christians often face similar pressure. Often we feel like we need to be perfect and any mistake makes our life seem less valuable, less worthy.
The difference between the New England Patriots and you and me, is that through our imperfections and "losses," God can often do His best work.
Should we strive to follow God? Yes!
Should we seek to avoid sin? Absolutely!
But when we make mistakes and fall short of what God created us to be, remember that through the blood of Jesus we can continue to play on like we never lost a game. It’s the grace of God that gives us the ability to be true champions in the Kingdom of God.
shine!
