Victory

You might have heard about a football game tomorrow of super status, extensive promotion, and a potential Three-Peat. I know, you are bowled over at the mere mention of the spectacle and are swiftly planning to watch both field and stands!

Big congrats Eagles & Chefs on getting to the big game. I mean Chiefs, my apologies Chiefs Nation! Great Googly Moogly- somebody hand me a Snickers!

Now I have no idea if the Chiefs will get the three-peat, but I do expect the game to be very competitive and commercials to be reasonably entertaining. Best of success to both teams, now pass me the chips and salsa!

All this talk, has got me thinking of two millennia ago when a Three-Peat victory of sorts occurred over three days and continues to echo thru the ages, still making a positive difference in people’s lives today!  I’m talking about the culmination of Jesus’ incarnation as a human like us, crucifixion for us, and resurrection victory to share with & empower us! Here’s a quick game summary using his words:

PRE-GAME
> “I’ve eager desired to share this meal with you before I suffer.”
> “This is my body broken & blood shed for you. Do this to remember me!”
> “My soul is overwhelmed to death. Yet, not my will, but yours, Father.”

FIRST HALF
> “In the future you’ll see Me sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One.”
> “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing!”
> “Truly, today you will be with me in paradise.”

SECOND HALF
> “My God, my God why have you forsaken me?” “It is finished!”
> “Why do you seek the living among the dead?”
> “Peace be with you. I’m sending you. Stop doubting & believe!”

Truly the Empowering, Comeback Reality & Three-Peat Victory for the ages!  Let’s get Jesus and get to following! He sacrificially loves and gets us!
