The Message
Christianity involves entirely different thinking -- winning doesn't look like it does in a football game or an election. In Christianity, winning looks like serving, like selflessness, like humility. Individuals don't seek or achieve notoriety, but the acts of service become the goal. If it worked like the stock market, we'd invest in others without any thought of any return for ourselves, for we have a God who so entirely looks out for our every need that we need not think of ourselves. There are no standings, no winning, no losing, no fear of embarrassment or unworthiness, for our attention is centered beyond ourselves, drawn into the glory of God, transfixed by beauty beyond compare. We are lost in wonder, love, and praise, and the idea of being elevated above another doesn't even enter our minds, for the joy we find in another, for the peace we find in Christ, is sufficient to feed our souls for eternity.
