So Blessed
| Matthew 5:1-12
Blessings aren’t door prizes handed out by God.
One week from today, there’s going to be a little football game in Santa Clara, California. Standing astride the 50-yard line in Levi’s Stadium, a senior NFL referee will toss a coin. Moments later, he’ll blow his whistle — and Super Bowl LX will be under way.
The best players from two of the best teams in football will pound each other for several bone-jarring hours. When the dust finally settles, one team will emerge the victor. The players of that team will embrace, pound one another on the back, and probably dump a barrel of Gatorade on their coach. Every player on the winning team will walk away with a massive gold ring and a bonus check for $178,000.
As for the opposing team, there will be no confetti, no back-thumping hugs, no victory party. Just a slow, dejected walk through the tunnel to the place that will be known throughout the next year as the Losers’ Locker Room. The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat. That’s football.
