Lessons on Life from the Superbowl

1 Life is like a game—there are winners and losers.

2 Success in life is the progressive realization of a worthy goal.

3 Our rewards in life are proportion to our service.

4 Our excellence is in the context of a team effort.

5 Practice makes perfect.

6 Understanding life’s signals are crucial.

7 Giving all we can in right timing is essential to victory

8 The game is physical. In the game of life, we must do these things mentally, socially, spiritually.

9 God gives the best to those who integrate the principles well.

1 Life is like a game—there are winners and losers. If we are focused on the physical aspects of life to the neglect of the mental, social and spiritual dimensions, we need a serious change—it’s half-time!

2 A worthy goal will include a balance of physical, mental, social and spiritual dimensions.

3 To increase our rewards, we must increase our service. In our homes, are we willing to give more than we get. Can we apply that to our church or community, asking God daily what He wants from us?

4 Our team—our family and church should have a worthy goal that we feel good to be part of.

5 It takes years of practice and training to be in the Superbowl. Are we training; how can we improve?

6 Signals are crucial for the safe flow of cars at an intersection. Lives are lost by missed signals.

7 There is a sad difference between the Superbowl winners (who give all they can in each play to advance the ball) and many Christians who are indifferent to advancing the cause of truth.

8 The last of seven churches in Revelation (3) is lukewarm with a focus on material things while Christ or Truth is at the door seeking entrance.

9 That message has 7 parallels to Luke’s wedding parable in Luke 12:35-48 where “He will make [us] ruler over all that He has” if we are watching when Christ ‘knocks’ and open to Him immediately.’

This is not gentle Jesus who is always knocking. This is about an event that comes suddenly (with an offer of high destiny, verse 44) and there is no later time to get ready as each wedding parables shows.
