THE VICTORY IS OURS!

Pro wrestling is staged. Sorry to burst your bubble if you’re a pro-wrestling fan.

Humorist, Lewis Grizzard used to say that his mother was the only person on the planet

who thought pro-wrestling was real and the moon landing was staged.

Before the wrestlers ever go out, it has been predetermined who will win. The

contenders go through the battle for entertainment purposes but the point of the

contest is not to decide who will win but to give the crowd a show. The winner of the

match does not battle for victory but from victory. He battles knowing that he has

already won.

Those who faithfully follow Jesus Christ have also already won. God allows His

people to show the world that “greater is He that is in you than he that is in the

world” (I John 4:4).

I’ve read the last chapter of God’s plan for humanity ... and guess what? We

win!

“These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for

He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are called, chosen

and faithful” (Rev. 17:14).

The victory is ours! Now all we have to do is get on and stay on the winning

side!

We are so blessed to be a part of the loving and caring University Church. In His Love, Mary Lucy & George Crapps
