The Super Bowl and Jesus??? How to demonstrate Christ’s Love at the highest levels and on the biggest stage
What does the Super Bowl have to do with Jesus???
Well, a lot actually …
And today we are going to talk about:
How you can play on the highest stage to help you in your walk of faith
Athletes and coaches for Christ,
We are minutes away from the kickoff between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, which is the largest sporting spectacle in America.
These players are on the biggest stage.
There will be thousands of fans in the stands …
And millions more from across the world watching on TV.
I remember when I was a kid and I used to dream of playing on the biggest stage:
- At the highest levels
- Underneath the lights
- In front of a roaring crowd
And throughout most of my life, I worked hard day in and day out to pursue that dream …
Until one day, I realized …
This dream wasn’t meant to be.
I was doing a heavy squat workout one day and tweaked my back in the middle of one of my sets.
Instantly, a shriek of fear radiated throughout my body.
Not only was I in physical pain …
But I was in emotional turmoil …
Because I realized my competitive athletic career was over.
I no longer was the athlete, I no longer knew what I was supposed to do.
I thought I had let everyone down:
- Myself for not living up to my dream
- My parents who had invested so much in me
- My teammates, coaches, and future people who would watch me
- GOD who had placed this uncontainable passion deep in my heart
Then GOD freed me to realize …
I didn’t want to play pro for the fame, for the fans, or for the bright lights.
The reason I wanted to play pro was to have a platform to:
- Inspire others
- Make an impact
- Demonstrate Christ’s Love flowing through me
And GOD also freed me to realize …
He had been preparing me for that platform every step of the way:
- As an athlete, I inspired others as the smallest guy on the floor was so competitive
- As a coach, I made an impact as my passion and enthusiasm rubbed onto all the players
- In my relationships, I demonstrated Christ’s Love flowing through me with my presence and heart
The question I want to ask you is …
What platform has GOD already given you???
- To inspire others
- To make an impact
- To demonstrate Christ’s Love flowing through you
And …
How are you making the most of that platform???
Athletes and coaches for Christ, I wish you well on your journey of realizing the platform GOD has given you to inspire, make an impact, and demonstrate Christ’s Love, and I send love, gratitude, peace, and blessings to you!
May GOD inspire YOU every step of your way,
Kyle
