Football Jesus

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him"

JOHN 3:16-17

What does Jesus have to do with football?   There must be a connection because there always seems to be someone in the stadium holding up a JOHN 3:16 sign.   Maybe he's just God's #1 fan?!

Perhaps he is on fire for God so much that he wants to share the gospel rather than cheer for a team.  He probably considers the outcome of the game to be less important than the outcome of each spectator's life.  He wants to shout out to the world that because of Jesus, no one must perish!

For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son.  It is the desires of our heart that only He can fulfill.  With His presence, we experience what is solely from God.  And, He unites us to each other more powerfully than any winning team.  Our victory is in Christ!
