The Olympics

The Olympics

The Olympics games have been around for many years.  The Apostle Paul observed this in his biblical writings.  Where he talked about the end goal, which was in that day a green olive branch which was worn the head of the victorious Athletic as they marched through the city. He obviously noted their training and toughness. Then He concluded for what?? All that training and all that toughness for a temporary crown??  When all that work and energy could be used for the Lord’s work. Which gives an eternal crown and eternal benefits.

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.²⁵ Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. See 1Cor.9:24-25

A perishable wreath and that does not sound like very much.  Also, only one receives the prize.   Compare that with those working for the Lord, where all receives a prize (reward) and all receives an eternal prize (crown) for your work for the Lord. That is all that are saved, all that are children of God. We may be creations of God and we are not ALL children of God, we must be saved, we must be born again.

So let us count for Him, let us strive to live for the Lord and work for Him.

For whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

God Bless you,
