The flame of the 2012 Olympiad has been
extinguished, the closing festivities are a memory, the sporting venues have
now drawn silent, the athletes
have returned totheir home countries,but they return having
been changed!
But every athlete that participated will
always be forever known as an
Olympian

She tweeted, "All honor and glory

Just as these Olympians will never be the same, Jesus taught us that an
encounter with the living God should have
a far reachingimpact in our
Personal, Spiritual,and Relational life.
Here is the Challenge…
When the Cross is proclaimed it is
usuallyin a Historical sense.
Rightly proclaimed as a Historical event two thousand years ago
in the city of Jerusalem
“Now it was the third hour, and they crucified
Him.”Mark 15:25
But there is a second dimension
to theCross, a Present
One
The seconddimension occurswhen individuals choose to make
Christ theirSavior and Lord!
“We know that our old life died with Christ on the cross so that our
sinful selves would have no power over us and
we would not beslaves to sin.”
Romans 6:6
“I was put to death on the cross with Christ,
and I do not live anymore—it is Christ who lives in me. I still live in my body, but I
liveby faith in the Son of
God who loved me andgave himself to save
me.”Gal;atians 2:20 NCV
“Those who belong to Christ Jesus have
crucified their own sinful selves. They have
given up their old selfish feelings and the
evilthings they wanted
to do.”Galatians 5:24 NCV
The seconddimension occurswhen individuals choose to make
Christ theirSavior and Lord!
“When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also,
He said to them, “Whoever desires to
come after Me, let himdeny himself, and take
up his cross, andfollow Me.”
Mark 8:34
Jesus Proclaimed Such!
“Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take
uphis cross, and
follow Me.”Mark 8:34b
The Disciples Embraced Such!
Philippians 3:7-10
“But what things were gainto me, these I have countedloss for Christ. 8 Yet indeedI also count all things loss…
…for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my
Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all
things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain
Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having my own
righteousness,which is from the law, but
that which is through faith in Christ, the…
…righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I
may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His
sufferings, being conformed to His death.”
The Disciples Embraced Such!

The Disciples Embraced Such!
‘conformed’
…the image of a MarriedCouple growing alike as
the years go by!
The Disciples Embraced Such!

have inChrist Jesus our Lord,
