Australians : the comeback champions?
Category:Church sign of the week
This guy, nice guy, quite popular, he dies. All his friends are upset. He’s gone but never quite forgotten – not long later he makes a miraculous comeback. In church that’s the story of Lazarus, in politics it’s Kevin Rudd.
There is another story – these men, tired, from all the running are finally found in a field. Certain defeat looms before them, then their captain looks around and says, “Do nit be afraid. There are more with us than against us” as an army of loyal supports appears.
In the Bible that’s the story of Elisha in 2 Kings 6, in sport it’s Queensland taking the State Of Origin field in Brisbane last night.
Last one – a warning to the British and Irish Lions from the prophet Micah
“Do not gloat over me, my enemy!
Though I have fallen, I will rise.”
Watch out for Kurtley Beale!
