An Epic Battle
By the time you read this it will all
be over. The weeks of build-up, the predictions and prognostications, the hype
and hyperbole, it will all be over. One team will have prevailed over the
other. One person will be singled out as the MVP of the game and he will say
that it was really a team effort. There may be some analysis done after,
especially of the ‘mistakes’ made by one team that led to a turning point in
the game. Names will be inscribed on trophies. And then what? What significance
will there be to what has happened? What difference will it have made in the
world?
If you want to talk about an epic
battle, the most epic battle ever took place many years ago. It did not take
place in an arena with thousands looking on though the outcome of this battle
has effected every person who ever lived. This battle had thousands of years of
build-up. Many people looked forward to this battle taking place without really
understanding how it would all play out. Upon first examination of this battle
it will seem that the champion of the people will have gone down in defeat. He
will have laid down his life in this battle, seemingly having lost.
But Jesus’ death was not the end of
the battle, he came back from that grave as the victor, he rose gloriously to
his throne in heaven. He wears the victor’s crown and rules all things for the
good of his people. His victory made a real difference in the lives of his
people, and their futures.

Supporting Faith Lutheran School
Want an easy way to support our
school? Collect BoxTops and turn them in
to your child’s teacher. FLS has
received over $500 dollars in the last year just from box tops! Mrs. Z will be submitting this quarter’s
BoxTops soon. Please turn them in by
February 22nd. You can keep
collecting and turn them in for the next quarter as well.
FLS is also a member of the Kroger (Fred
Meyer) rewards program. All you have to
do is log in to your Fred Meyer rewards account and link it with FLS. When you purchase a product on their rewards
