UNPACK This...Super Bowl LVIII

DAY 1 OF 5

Found A Way To Win

The 49ers and Chiefs are heading to the Super Bowl, setting up an incredible matchup. The path that both teams took to get here wasn’t an easy one, but they each found a way to win.

The Chiefs went up against a Baltimore defense that was considered “historically great,” yet they found a way to move the ball and get into the endzone enough to win.

In the NFC, the 49ers went into halftime down by 17 against the Lions. But thanks to the right halftime adjustments, they also found a way to win after playing an exceptional second half.

The road to the Super Bowl is always narrow and difficult, as only two teams find a way to the ultimate game.

As we parallel this to life and faith, are we on the narrow and difficult path that leads to the “ultimate game” – the path that leads to eternal life?

In Matthew 7:13-14 Jesus says, “’Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad and easy to travel is the path that leads the way to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow and difficult to travel is the path that leads the way to [everlasting] life, and there are few who find it.’”

Jesus also declares in John 14:6, “’I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’”

It is in Christ alone that we find a way to win because He defeated sin and death with His victory on the cross. When we follow Him, we know we will face a tough path of opposition from the world. However, we know that when we have Jesus, we’ve found THE ONLY way to truly win.

When we put our trust in Him as Lord and Savior, we will remain standing with Him in the end as He gives us life both now and forever.

I’m Bryce Johnson, and you can UNPACK that!

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, I’m so thankful that You sent Jesus to overcome sin and death so that I can find victory through Him. Thank you for saving me and giving me eternal life in Christ. Help me have peace and confidence as I walk on the narrow and difficult path. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
