The Mystery of Victory | Easter Sunday
from Sundays at Cumberland · host Courtney Harkness
Isn't victory sweet? Whether it's sports or the game of life, everyone wants to end up in the winner's circle. We're even willing to go to extreme lengths - and not just to win, but to ensure that *others lose.*We're selfish, prideful, inconsiderate, greedy, unmerciful... not because we're evil, but simply because we want to win.So, is winning wrong? Of course not. But we often spend our lives pursuing a victory that's only temporary. In response to this, Jesus offers a revolutionary consideration about the nature of true victory:The sweetness of victory that we desire is hidden in the bitterness of suffering that we avoid.
