The Apostle Paul says to follow him as he follows Jesus. When Paul (then known as Saul) became a Christian, his priorities were radically changed. Paul wore the Jesus team colours. He loves Jesus, People and Prayer.
What’s distinctive about sporting fans? What do they do to show they support their team? Fans wear their team colours; they wear the jersey; they wear the scarf; they have the bumper sticker on their school folder; and they will make themselves look stupid! Fans will travel across the world to watch their team play one game and devote themselves to following the team.
In the pic below, which was featured in the 3 Paul’s Priorities posts, there are two members of the Hogettes, a well-known group supporting the Washington Redskins Football team in America. These guys are wearing their team’s colours.
The Apostle Paul was a man who wore the Jesus team colours. However, he didn’t always wear them. Before he was a Christian, he actually supported the other team! But, after becoming a follower of Jesus, he was radically changed.
JESUS TEAM COLOURS: Jesus, People and Prayer.
How are you going in wearing the Jesus team colours? Do you love Jesus? Do you love people? Do you bring people before Jesus in prayer?
