John 14:6
How many ways are there to God?
This is an important question today. It is important because almost everyone claims to believe in God. It is important because almost everyone wants to establish some kind of relationship with God. It is important because people want to find a way to connect with God.
John offers us only one answer:
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
How does this relate to sports? How much faith, trust and need for a connection do we put into “our” teams and individuals and what happens when inevitably both are broken because our focus is on things of this earth rather than God? Feelings of despair, betrayal, anger and insecurity emerge.
There is only one that wipes away all those negative feelings, Jesus Christ. Athletes speak of the sacrifices they made for their careers, but let us not forget who made the ultimate sacrifice for us. He longs for a relationship from us because he is “the way and truth and the life.”
