Winners and Losers

We are fresh off another Super Bowl Sunday. Congratulations to the Giants for their remarkable win. I absolutely love it when the underdog wins. I mean these guys rose up from caious early in the season to the top of the mountian at the end. I love it when I hear stories like that. Stories where the one's who are not suppose to win, win. The Bible is full of these kinds of stories. Jesus specialized in helping those who the world around them look on as losers, win. Think about the paralyzed man who society scorned and Jesus rose from his mat. How about the woman at the well who had so many marriages she couldn't show her face in public, but Jesus helped make her a winner too. There are endless others. Just as there are endless stories from those around us. People who no one ever thought they would be much, but became great in the eyes of Jesus. Jesus is all about making each of us winners.
