March Madness

I am a big fan of March Madness. For those of you who don't know much about it, March Madness is the big NCAA basketball tournament. It's a great time of the year when you watch every team try to make it to the final four. I think it's funny that every single team in the tournament thinks they have a shot of making it to the final four, but only 4 teams actually make it. It seems like every year, there is at least one team that they call a Cinderella team. The reason they call them that is because they aren't that good of a team in the tournament but they start beating teams that are better than them. I love Cinderella teams because they are not expected to win, but they do. It's all because of their perseverance and persistence to overcome adversity. I always love the underdog. I think Jesus was the underdog when he was being beaten and crucified. All the soldiers who beat him and the people who mocked him thought that he had no chance of doing anything good. Little did they know that his plan all along was to endure a brutal death in order to pay the penalty of the sins of the world. He was not an underdog for long, because he rose again from the dead to prove that he was who he said he was. Jesus now has complete victory over sin and death. He won and now we have the same Victory if we know him. We are also like the underdog. There was no chance of us being saved because of our sin until Jesus came along and took the sin for us. I love the underdog
