When you lose, it is good to wake the following morning to the Sabbath. It reminds you of the trivialities of this earth, of the work left in front of your plow, and of the ultimate victory in life, victory in Him who longs to have you home with Them. Winning and losing are part of life. It is not evolution, it is not the big bang, it is the plight and joy of every human. It begins with being born, you the winner, and 400 quadrillion others losing out. This winning losing continues throughout life, in everything, you win some, you lose some, and then the ultimate loss, you die. This is where the Sabbath comes in. The end of life is a win-or-lose proposition, life or death. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” And so the sabbath reminds us that winning is the ultimate human goal and is available to all who will come to Him. He makes all the other losses pale in comparison. Happy Advent, Merry Christmas, Happy Sabbath. Go Vols.
