At 7'4" and 300 pounds, Purdue center Zach Edey is "the man in the middle." He occupies a lot of space for rebounds and scoring. Purdue's hopes for winning a national championship are weighing heavily on Zach Edey's shoulders. Long ago another "man in the middle" was nailed to a cross on a hillside outside Jerusalem. He was jeered at, taunted, spit on, and reviled by those passing by and even by those who were crucified on either side of Him. For six hours Jesus hung on the cross. Jesus Christ is "the man in the middle". The hope of the world was pinned on Him. He was dying for the salvation of the entire world. "For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God." (I Peter 3:18) This Easter, Jesus Christ, "the man in the middle," wants to get in the middle of your heart. He wants you to accept His payment for your sins. You can receive that payment by saying something like this: "Lord, thank You for being the "the man in the middle", for dying for my sins on the cross. Thank you for your payment for my sins. Get in the middle of my heart and change me from the inside out. Amen For more infomation go to: https://thefour.fca.org/

In the NFL draft, the final pick is tagged with the label "Mr. Irrelevant". Irrelevant. "Unnecessary. Not meaningful. Serving no purpose. Of no significance. Having no bearing on the matter at hand." In 2022 Brock Purdy was the final pick of the NFL draft. He was Mr. Irrelevant. Yesterday, Brock Purdy, was far from being "irrelevant". As the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, he led his team to a convincing win over the Dallas Cowboys and sent them into the NFL conference championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Brock Purdy was not "irrelevant". He is not who the NFL draft says he was. And yet with all his relevance to the success of his team, there is another level of relevance for us all. Not what the success or lack of success of our teams tells us who we are, but who God says we are. And God says, "You are relevant. You matter. I see you. You make a difference." The cross of Jesus Christ spells out our relevance. Jesus says to you, "You are worth dying for. You are worth 6 hours on a cross with nails in my hands and feet. You are worth it." Coach, take your relevance as a gift from God. He gives that to you. Relevant because God says you are. A relevance of being, not of doing. Lord, help us remember to take our relevance from who we are in relationship to You and that is one of a beloved son or daughter. No matter how good it gets or how bad it gets. Even if we feel irrelevant. Marty Mayer Northern Kentucky FCA
