Overcomers!
Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John 5:5
At halftime on December 17, 2022, the Minnesota Vikings trailed the Indianapolis Colts 33–0. Some fans gave up. But the Vikings came alive in the second half, won in overtime, and set the record for the largest comeback in NFL history.
Yet that wasn’t the greatest comeback in history. That happened on Easter Sunday, when Satan and his hosts thought they had won, only to be routed when Jesus rose from the dead. We often think everything is against us. Discouragement piles onto discouragement, and we feel defeat in our hearts. But God is the King of comebacks. He reverses the tide, weaves the circumstances into threads of gold, and turns curses into blessings. He specializes in working all things for the good of His dear children. No matter how dark the situation in our life may become, our hope is anchored in Jesus Christ and in His power over death. Thank Him today for the victories He has given and for all that are yet to come. Outside of Christ, I have been defeated; in Christ, I am already victorious.
