ACHIEVING A VICTORY

Big Brown is a colt that has won five races by a combined 39 lengths. Jockey Kent Desormeaux rode him to impressive win at the Kentucky Derby and didn’t even need to use his whip! If Big Brown wins at the Belmont Stakes on June 7, ’08, he will become the first horse to win the Triple Crown in 30 years.

What could be greater than achieving a victory? than being a winner? than being a conqueror? God’s amazing grace answers this question. Through radical Christ-centered living we can testify that “we are more than conquerors”! See how Scripture declares this astounding promise: “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Rom. 8:37). Notice that the context here is severe persecution. “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: ‘For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter'” (Rom. 8:35,36; Psalm 44:22).
