““Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12
We all know that Rocky is going to win. We know how the story ends.
But it is what he is up against… what he goes through… what he is willing to endure… to lay on the line…
That is what makes us watch… what makes us relate.
It is the fight that draws the attention.
Christ has won. We live in victory. The script is already written and production is done.
Now it is about drawing a crowd… filling the seats.
Your life is meant to be a “profession before many witnesses.”
You are a professional fighter.
Your life is a testimony to the victory that Christ has won on the cross.
Death is defeated.
We need to get the Word out.
Our trials… our pain… our scars… they draw attention.
What God has comforted us through… the last round of the fight…
That is done.
What we are facing now… whether we are ahead in hits against the enemy or whether we are up against the ropes and taking a beating…
We are destined to reign as champions because He already holds the Title.
Don’t get down… don’t look at this round as the end… don’t doubt that when the 10 count is over…
You’ll stand. With arms high. And a cloak of righteous wrapped around you.
Because that is who you already are.
Victorious in Christ.
