Go Cubs...I mean Jesus!

People amaze me…the things they say and do. Most of you know I am not a big sports fan, but I do enjoy watching an occasional game. The Cardinals have been on a winning streak but recently have fallen from grace and to make it worse, the Cubs beat them! I love it…not because I’m a die hard Cubs fan, but because of the reaction of my Cardinal fan friends. Recently I posted how silent all the Cardinal fans were and you should have read the postings. Now, none of this really matters…in fact it doesn’t matter at all, but I find it remarkable that some believers raise such a ruckus over a baseball game and remain indifferent about their Savior. What if…what if people got excited about Jesus? What if they cheered and focused on Him for hours at a time? What if they memorized His stats and…oh my…what if they did the wave in church??? Actually, none of those things matter either because Jesus never asks us to do those things…but He does ask us to be in a genuine relationship with Him and to be His witnesses. As I watch people, my prophetic word is that many people (religious and heathen alike) will be surprised when Jesus returns…but until then, if the Cubs beat the Cards just one more time, I’ll have enough sermon examples to last until I retire!
