PART 1 INTRODUCTION: Hebrews We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honour beside God’s throne. WHO IS A CHAMPION? • a person who has surpassed all rivals in a sporting contest or other competition. • a person who vigorously supports or defends a person or cause. Deep down in every human's mind we all want to be a champion. The first thing we must know is, Jesus is the number one champion. • He opens the door of salvation. The greatest love that can happen to any humans. 1 Corinthians But to those called by God to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. • Jesus mend the relationship problem between God and human. Romans So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God. • Jesus Christ paid the price that ensure our place in eternity. 1 Corinthians You were bought with a price [a precious price paid by Christ]; do not become slaves to men [but to Christ]. The major problem of God and human is relationship problem. There won't be relationship if there is no: 1. Disobedience 2. Rebellion 3. Hatred 4. Pride 5. Jealousy A man or woman that can overcome all these in the kingdom and help others to overcome it, is a champion in the kingdom. Jesus Christ created Champions in everything but the most important is relationship with the Father. Our goal in this life is not to be a champion of the things on this earth but to be a champion also for the kingdom. God is creating everyone of us into champions. We should not forget the enemy will not be happy to see you and I become the Champions God intends for us. The enemy will fight us every step of the way.
