"The Excitement of March Madness"-

It's that time of year again!!! It's March Madness time as the NCAA tournament has already begun as of today!!!...This is the favorite time of year for so many people across the country...waiting with anticipation to see what's going to happen with their favorite college basketball teams to see if they will end up victorious in unarguably the biggest basketball tournament of the year without a doubt. You should see it...people go crazy as each team assembles together in their respective regions to compete with each other toward the goal of a National Championship in arguably one of the most popular sporting events ever, it generates such a crazy buzz all across the country.

Here's Why:
1. There's a chance our favorite team will win it all
2. We always like to see what happens when you assemble the best 65 teams.
3. There's always a chance at a "Cinderella" story of one of the underdog teams from an inferior conference knocking off the larger school teams that are supposed to be dominant.
Finally #4

There will always be the suspense of the competition as you unite for a few weeks with fellow fans of your favorite team and it never matters where they are from, what they look like, what they do for a living, or what their favorite color is, during the NCAA Tournament, WE'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER!!!!

Sound familiar at all? Isn't that what the body of Christ is supposed to be about? Gathering together for one purpose...WORSHIP OF OUR SAVIOR JESUS!!!! We're supposed to be all together gathered together with our goal of living for Christ in mind and the hope that we will come away victorious in Christ?

Guess What? WE ALREADY HAVE THE VICTORY SO WHY NOT CELEBRATE?

Have you ever thought about that? We already have the victory over sin and death all accomplished by Jesus Christ's sacrifice of Himself on the cross for those who it doesn't matter what they look like, where they are from, what they do for a living, or what their favorite color is, if we're in Christ, WE'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER, LET'S CELEBRATE!!!-GRACE AND PEACE
