A Champion With A Purpose
February 4
“Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave–just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many”.
Matthew 20:25-28
Jesus refused to take his eyes of the championship his Father sent him to win. He was focused and on a divine mission. Most fighters punch at the air and hit it. Jesus set his sights on knocking out sin for humanity. He achieved his goal. He could summarize his good fighting career with one sentence: “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost” (Luke 19:10). Jesus was so focused on his fight that he knew when the bell rang, “It is finished” (John 19:30).
Jesus would spend days fighting for the sick and knocking out their diseases’. He would spend days with multitudes showing them how to defend against the takedowns of the evil one. He spent over thirty years preparing for his championship just to share it with us.
Remember, it is called a fight for a reason. However, we fight from victory, not for victory. Keep Fighting!
