John 13:17

Which is better: to know your team’s playbook inside and out, or the flawless execution of one of those plays?  I think you know and today we’ll hear Jesus talk about how doing is better than knowing.

We can hear Him when we read John chapter 13 and verse 17, “If you know these things, happy are you if you do them.”

This statement comes from Jesus on the heels of His washing the disciples’ feet and telling them that He did it as an example to the.  They certainly thought that was a good idea, but now He says that it’s more important to do it than to just know it as a fact.

It’s the same with your team.  The happiness of great team play comes with the doing of it, not just with knowing the playbook.  You have to score to win.  You have to execute the play to have a chance to score.  Knowing the playbook alone will never result in a score, the game is not played on paper.  You and your teammates have to actually make the play.  Doing it is the key.

In this day’s competition, take your knowledge of the playbook and put it into action.  Make some plays.  Execute each play with discipline and passion.  These make for teamwork, victory and fun.
