March Madness

1 Corinthians 15: 57

⁵⁷ But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

March Madness attracts many basketball aficionado’s during the height of the College basketball season.

A local High School team (Waupun) just tasted victory that hadn’t been at the championship level since 1927.

Actually, I went to bed on Sunday night, right before the last second 3 point shot by Bronson Keonig of Wisconsin.

Honestly, as I watched that game, all I saw was mis-matches. I didn’t think Wisconsin had a chance to see victory.

It looked pretty glum for the human race some 2,000 years ago.

We were way behind, with almost no time left on the clock.

Then God went to the bench, and He chose His best Player by far.

We could’ve been down by 10,000 points, but Jesus would’ve settled the score.

When I think about that, it almost overwhelms me.

This week especially, I am overcome with the thought and taste of victory.

What if we went to church on Easter Sunday, and celebrated like most Wisconsin people did on Sunday night?

What if we hooted and hollered on Sunday, like we did when Aaron Rogers threw that desperate pass to Richard Rogers against the Lions?

As you prepare to go about your day today, maybe this is the kind of spiritual moment we need to savor, considering how sweet the victory really is...
