We are the Champions

   "We are the champions, my friends, And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end, We are the champions, We are the champions, No time for losers, 'Cause we are the champions of the world" (Queen). If you don't know that is the song called "We Are The Champions" by Queen. It is a typical song sung by teams when they win a tournament. I always wanted to sing that song after winning a championship, but I never got to.
   Now, before you go thinking this is going to be a depressing blog I have sung that song in another competition. In this competition I didn't have to do anything to win. Someone won for me. In Him I am more than a champion. In Him I am more than a conqueror. Jesus has already won. People may think that he is in a constant battle with the Devil but they are wrong. There wasn't even a contest really. The devil is like an ant. Jesus is so big and powerful that all he had to do was step on him.
   Because we have this knowledge, when we feel down we must remember that the battle we are fighting is already won. In fact, the war has already been won. We cannot lose because Jesus is on our side. He defeated Satan because he loves us. Isn't that great to think about? Whatever you are going through I encourage you to remember that you have already won. Satan cannot bring you down. Even if you fail, even if you fall into temptation, Jesus is still on your side. All you have to do is ask Jesus to forgive you and he will. Now, that doesn't mean that we should continue to sin if we know Jesus will forgive us. We are to be more like him each day as we grow in him.
   So, how does it feel to know that you are more than a champion/conqueror? Will you continue to try to be like Jesus? How can you grow in Him today?
