THE ULTIMATE
In the early 1970s the Dallas Cowboys had a star running back named Duane Thomas who was kind of a head case. One year the Cowboys made it to the Super Bowl and someone asked Duane Thomas what he thought about playing in the "ultimate game." He replied "If this is the Ultimate Game, why do they play it again next year?"
Jesus is the ultimate answer because IT IS FINISHED. That is the message of the New Covenant and not of the Old that constantly has to do and redo. It was all done for us through Christ and now we are to reflect Him to those around us and to do it with great and greater glory as His Spirit continues to transform us more and more with each passing day.
