Our Desire
Somewhere within our DNA is an inherent desire to succeed at what we do. We want to win. This ambition is evident at an early age. Toddlers are beside themselves with glee when they successfully take those first steps and are now moving at speeds they never thought possible. They have conquered the mystery of walking, and it’s an exciting accomplishment. What if we could assure ourselves of the excitement of getting to the end of life, knowing that we are on the winning side?

Our Difficulty
We face an impossible task because of an inherent disease with which we were born. This disease is called sin. It is our undeniable and inevitable nature. Our bent is evident at the earliest of ages, as we don’t have to teach our young ones to do wrong. Our responsibility is to guide them in doing what is right. But even with instruction and direction, we are all incapable of overcoming this vice on our own. Furthermore, our plight separates us from the One who made us. Yet, there is hope!

Our Deliverer
The only one who could cure our ailment of sin is the Lord Jesus Christ. What is so amazing is that He did it because He loved us when we didn’t deserve it. He blazed a trail, making it possible for us to enter a race to win. The reality is that He already won when He conquered death and rose again, proving that He had overcome the vice that led to death in the first place. But now we have a chance to win as well.
