Easter Is About the True Champion!

The world is always looking for world champions in sports. Our country is now looking for national

champions in collegiate basketball. And, there is a lot of emphasis on being the star of the champions.

The work and determination to secure such a prize is tremendous. Millions of dollars is spent on this

entertainment aspect of  our society. People would rather spend all that money because they want to

be amused. "Amused" means "not having to think."

However, we must think about the eternal meaning of Easter. It is about the Risen Lord! He took on

sin, and carried the burden of ALL mankind on that cruel cross on Good Friday. And, He arose on

Easter morning-Resurrection Day! Our enemy, the devil, is forever defeated by this great act of love

by Jesus Christ!

Thus, Jesus is the True Champion! One of my favorite rallying songs is "Hail to the Victors". It is

my favorite team's fight song. But, it is only an earthly song of praise. I look forward to the day

when I can sing heavenly praises in glory to the True Champion. I'm practicing now for the heavenly

choir.I sing praise to the The True Champion, Jesus Christ!
