"How's Your Warranty?"

We live in a world that requires us to purchase or use the warranty that comes with our products. It seems like things don't last as long as they once did, especially since the more technological of a society we are the more there is a need for a warranty. I am so glad that God gave us the greatest warranty for life we could ever imagine...Jesus Christ.

No matter how difficult life is, we have been given a way of making it through with Jesus Christ. He is the one that when we fail...he picks us up...when we hurt he comforts us and when we are filled with joy he celebrates with us. And the greatest thing of all is his warranty never runs out and is never a "limited warranty."

I was reminded this week of how Christ impacts people's life when Mike Flores gave me his NFL player's card. He played for the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins of the NFL. Mike is the head football coach for the Silver Creek High School football team and he asked me, this year, to be his assistant coach. This is exciting since it is the first year for high school football at Silver Creek since 1942. What he had put on the back of his player card is incredible.

Here is what is one the back: "Life is basically made up of choices. How you determine what choices are best for you is crucial to your success. Obviously, I made the proper choices that allowed me to play in the NFL...choices like hard work, determination, setting goals, refusing drugs, getting an education, etc. But the absolute best choice I ever made was when I invited Jesus Christ to take over my life and be my Lord and Savior. It takes more guts to follow Jesus Christ than to play against the toughest players in the NFL. I dare you to seek God for yourself, that he may help you to make the right choices in life...especially eternal life. (See John 3:16)"

Mike understands what the warranty of Jesus Christ brings to your life. I pray that you can discover that warranty in your own life and will be touched by his grace every single day.
