With the opening of the Olympics in Rio, athletes are eagerly awaiting their shot at a gold medal. As Christians we know our reward in Christ is far greater than anything we will receive here on earth.
As the Olympic torch continues to burn, so do our competitive spirits. But as Christians, our race is not against each another. We need to run together desiring to see everyone finish well.
As the Olympic games continue, one can’t help but remember the man from Scotland who ran in 1924. Chariots of Fire gave him a legacy, but Eric Liddell ran for God’s glory.
What a joy it must be to take home a gold medal. But this thrill is incomparable to the triumphant victory of Jesus over sin and death.
With over 200 countries represented, the Olympics continues to be one of the largest world gatherings in history. But the Bible talks about an even greater event in the future where people from every nation and tongue will gather to worship Jesus.
