As the second quarter started the Bears scored again. "What's going on here?" we asked ourselves. The Packers could do nothing.
And then it happened. Aaron Rodgers, our star quarterback, went down with a knee injury. Hope went right out the window as he was carted off the field. At the half the Packers were trailing 17-0. We went to bed. My wife fell asleep. I continued to watch, just so I could tell my wife what the final score was in the morning.
Our hope was basically gone. The Packers looked dismal. We were picked by many to go to the Superbowl this year and then this happened. I'm sure Packers fans everywhere were devastated. But then . . . Aaron Rodgers! The Packers scored 21 points on the fourth quarter to win 24-23.
Faith and hope are just two words until you see them in action. When things seem their darkest, that's when the light shines brightest. Where there is faith, there is hope. They were both on display last night. The Packers faithful fans never gave up hope. No one left the stadium. They had faith in their Packers and in the end, they weren't disappointed.
Our faith in Jesus needs to be the same. Aaron Rodgers may be a very good quarterback in the clutch but he didn't save the whole world by sacrificing His life for His "fans."
We should ALWAYS have hope in Jesus. Even when things are at their darkest. Even when Jesus was hanging on the cross, believe it or not, there was still hope. The apostles scattered, they hide from the Jews until Jesus showed up and basically said "R-E-L-A-X". And do you remember this "play" in the boat?
"23Then Jesus got into the boat and started across the lake with his disciples. 24Suddenly, a fierce storm struck the lake, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
26Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm.
27The disciples were amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked. “Even the winds and waves obey him!” - Matthew 8:23-27
