Braves celebrate

The Atlanta Braves joyfully celebrated after clinching a spot in the playoffs on Tuesday night. Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen said afterwards that he had no problem with the Braves celebration. “Everybody should celebrate everything they do in life”, he said.

Nobody has more reason to celebrate than followers of Jesus Christ. Through his sacrificial death and victory over the grave, Jesus has turned us into winners. As 1 Corinthians 15:57 says, “But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

It is not only our right, it is our duty to celebrate the salvation we have in Jesus. Philippians 4:4 urges us to, “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!”

How do you plan to celebrate today?
