John 5:19

From whom have you taken instruction in the game?  Certainly your coaches at each level of your sport have taught you well.  Who else provides wise guidance?  Who would have done this for Jesus?  He tells us in today’s letter.

In John chapter 5 at verse 19 we read, “Then Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.’”

There it is, Jesus’ key to wise living.  Do whatever your leader does.  He saw what His heavenly Father would do and simply copied his actions. 

In like manner, we can emulate the best models we’ve gathered from our coaches, teammates and opponents to bring about the best game of our lives.  Remember the lessons of life and the game taught you through years of practices and hours of video study.  Remember the models for great play, and then simply walk in the footsteps of those who have gone before you.
