Winners

When our baseball team, the Mariners, are winning, the stands are full! Everyone loves a winner and the prospects are high, big wins really packs them in.  

“You have made them to be a Kingdom and priests to our God’

and they will reign upon the earth.” Revelation 5:10 NST

 

But the world is fickle, as soon as the team struggles and the losses are happening more often than wins, most of the crowd turns away. In this culture we live in, you are loved if you are perceived a winner.

Jesus loves us just as we are. He calls us to come now, don’t wait for a winning season. It’s this truth about Jesus that makes absolutely no sense to this world around us.

Jesus died for sinners, the lost, the forgotten, the failures and the famished for hope. Jesus loves losers! With our faith in Jesus, our sins confessed, we are all winners, we are always on the winning team.

There are those times when we are trying too hard for perfection on our own, when we feel as if we lose more than we are winning.  It’s God who will take us to the Cross every time and remind us, we are His beloved and we belong to Him.

The world can’t help us win a victory over our sins, victory over disease, victory over addictions, victory over the broken heart― but Jesus can and He will continue to do so every single time we bring it all to Him.

 

When eyes of faith are fixed on Jesus

 Hope abounds for all us sinners

Looking to the Cross of Jesus

We acclaim in Christ we are winners
