represent

Someone sent me this sermon this past week and I really liked it. Apart from the fact that it takes a few knocks at Ohio State, one analogy left an impression on me:

That in olden times, the king fought as a representative of the people. One king would fight another, and the winning party would capture victory for his whole nation. Perhaps the modern-day counterpart is a representative in government. Maybe the senator that is championing our interests, the one we have elected. When he gets that bill signed, it's not just for one, it is for all.

And just the same, when Jesus died on the cross, and rose again, He won. He is the peoples' champion, the King of all those who struggle with sin and endure the battle against the enemy. He is victorious. He is our David to the enemy's Goliath. Who's side would we choose?
