On Winning

We figured it would take several days to figure out who won this presidential election.  We were right.  News sources have now called the election for one candidate, but there are still legal challenges that will need to play out.  It will take another week or two for the states to certify their results.  But I want to remind us all of something very important.  Regardless of whether your guy won, our Guy has won.  Because of Christ’s victory, we get to face challenges that are not ultimate challenges.  No loss can take away from our victory in Jesus.  No earthly victory can add to it.  So whether your guy won or lost/wins or loses, Christ is risen.  I leave you with this picture of the victory as it is even now being celebrated in heaven.

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice:

“Salvation belongs to our God,
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb.”

-Revelation 7:9-10
