“Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,” declares the LORD. “Many nations will be joined with the LORD in that day and will become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.

Zechariah 2:10-11

God became an Anointed Fighter.  He stepped inside the cage of life and took the punches of world.

“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

The key word of the verse is among.  He lived among us.  He trained in a human gym among average fighters.  He felt the pain in his human legs when walking mile after to mile searching for someone to lift off the mat.  He felt hunger during his fight in the wilderness.  He knew what it was like to be knocked down and struggle to get back up.  He knew what it was like to walk to the cage alone. He could have lived over us or away from us.  However, he didn’t.  He lived among us.

He became a friend of the sinner and a training partner of the poor.  He understands the fight you are facing now.  He faced it has a human.

Remember, it is called a fight for a reason.  However, we fight from victory, not for victory.  Keep Fighting!
