HEARING vs EXPERIENCING: How to experience Christ for yourself
Do you just blindly listen to what other people say???
Or are you a person of action who actually goes out to experience what they say?
Today, we are going to talk about:
How you can experience the truth for yourself.
Recently, I was reading the part of the Bible where Jesus asks His disciples who people say Jesus was.
The disciples said that some people said:
- Elijah
- A prophet
- This, that, and so on
Then, Jesus asks the golden question ...
Who do you say I am?
Then, the Spirit filled Peter and he realized Jesus was the true Son of GOD.
This passage has many carryovers to our lives as athletes and coaches:
Athletes
Many times we are told we need to just be confident, but the words seem to be lip-service and bounce off because we still freeze up in games.
But then, there will be a time when we sink into the Zone and are filled with unshakable confidence. Then we experience the game in another light as the game feels effortless and we play on a whole different level.
Coaches
Many times we go to coaches' clinics and we are told a certain play and strategy will work, but the words and plays don't mean anything yet.
But then, there is that moment in a game or practice, when everything seems to click, and you finally have the realization about why and how that particular play works.
Athletes and Coaches for Christ
Many times we are told about how we should believe in the Bible, GOD, and Jesus, but much of the time the words don't hold much weight ... they are just words.
But then, there is that moment when we finally experience the overwhelming love GOD has for each and every one of us ...
And in that moment ...
We finally realize the Truth ourselves!
May this be an invitation to you ...
To not take other peoples' words as gospel ...
But to go out and experience the Truth for yourself.
Athletes and coaches for Christ, I wish you well on your journey of experiencing the Truth for yourself, and I send love, gratitude, peace, and blessings to you!
May GOD inspire YOU every step of your way,
Kyle
