Do you know what the final standings are in the Olympic Winter Games?
(February 6, 2026 – February 22, 2026)
Are you one of those who take great joy because your country was listed among the top ten? What a joy, many people are still celebrating!
Now, let us consider the athlete’s perspective and the sacrifices made to achieve first, second, or third place. One thing is certain: they did not start practicing a day before the event started.
Some started practicing from a very young age, striving to perfect their performance for the big day. And as they stay on course with their daily sacrifice, they are enjoying the benefits of holding and showing a trophy that tells their story.
Oh, what a great accomplishment!
Is there anything more valuable than that?
Yes, there is.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for Me will find it.” (Matthew 16:24-25)
Are you willing to accept this challenge?
The reward in the end is much more valuable than any trophy you would receive in the world!
