HE WINS EITHER WAY
There seems to be so much competition throughout church’s today and even in individual church’s. “My small group does more stuff.”, “My Sunday Class reads more scripture.”, “My church had way more than that in attendance.” The problem here is that we quickly forget that no one wins when we play the comparison game.
When we play the comparison game with anything, we lose either way. Either we compare and think we are better which leads to pride or we compare and think we lose which leads to all kinds of insignificant feelings.
We just need to look at scripture in what is written in Mark 9:38-41 and Luke 9:49-50. Let me sum up these verses for us. Jesus says that if they are not against us they are for us.
I love that. When that Sunday School class wins, than Jesus wins, if Jesus wins, then I win. It is a beautiful thing! Celebrate when ANYONE celebrates what Christ has done for us.
Don’t be the person that is complaining about how that person is winning souls when you are not winning any. You just lose!
