"Spoiler Alert" by Hank Botts

I Corinthians 15:57  But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Spoiler Alert!  Don’t you just hate it when someone spoils something that you’ve been looking forward to? For example, you’re all excited to go see a new movie that has recently come out, but before you can go, you run into a friend who has a slip of the tongue and gives away a key detail about the movie. Or, you weren’t able to watch a sporting event live, so you recorded it to watch later, but then someone blurts out the final score over lunch!  But, let me assure you, there is one spoiler that you are never going to be upset about, so I’m going to go ahead and share it with you now…. I went ahead and read the end of the story, and guess what….WE WIN!  Or, to be more accurate, JESUS WINS FOR US! 

I realize that we all face challenges and sometimes our battles leave us feeling defeated. We don’t know what the outcome will be ahead of time, and that can be daunting. But when you know the result of the war, the battles become that much easier to face. So, my encouragement to you is to read the entire story, all the way to the end. And if you happen to read the end of the story early, or if someone happens to share how it all ends with you, trust me, (Spoiler Alert!) you will not be disappointed! 

Love in Jesus,
Hank
