"That's My King!" Who's The Olympian Of All Olympians!

Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Olympian: Majestic in manner; Surpassing all others in scope and effect . . . One who is superior to all others; exalted; very powerful, large, or impressive.

This will preach . . . .

Jesus is the greatest Olympian of all time, and no one can ever compare with Him!
He's the majestic of the majestic!
He's more majestic in manner than all the manners that have ever been produced, introduced, or reproduced!
He surpasses all others in scope and effect like this world has never seen!
The scope of His influence on this universe is incomparable!
The far reaching effects of His life, death, resurrection cannot be contained, chained, or fully explained!
He's the One Who's superior to all others including brothers, mothers, and all one anothers!
He's in a class by Himself!
He's stands on a podium made by Himself, upheld by Himself, and all by Himself!
To know Him and to be known by Him is worth more than all the gold, silver, and bronze of 10 trillion universes!
His Word is worth more than thousands of pieces of gold and silver!
He's the priceless golden treasure of this universe Who alone can satisfy your soul!

He's superior to all others by an infinite distance!

He's exalted!

He's all-powerful!

He's larger than life and death!

He's the most impressive phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this world!

That's my King! I wonder if you know Him today?!

He ran the only perfect race that's ever been run in the history of this world!

He overcomes everyone with His irresistible grace and gets everyone and everything He wants!
He ran the fastest race, the smartest race, the longest race, and the best race all at the same time!
His life was full of perfect "10's" in all areas – any time, every time, all the time!
He's the only one Who disciplined His body perfectly with perpetually passionate power to produce the purest personal performance of any person Who has ever crossed the horizon of this world!
He's dedicated!
He's determined!
He's focused!
He's passionate!
He's strong!
He's gifted!
He's talented!
He's powerful!
He's skilled!
He's precise!
He's undaunted!
He's relentless!
He's unbreakable!
He's unstoppable!
He's unbeatable!
All He does is win!

He's the GOD-MAN Who always wins!

That's my King!

He created Michael Phelps; gave him all his gifts, talents, abilities, and work ethic; caused him to be born in an environment where those gifts could all be developed; gave him all the opportunities he was given to succeed; gave him all his wins and medals; and upholds him and everything else in this universe by the Word of His power!
He's Simone Biles' Creator, Lord, and Master; He knitted her together in her mother's womb, gave her all of her gifts, strength, and abilities, and only through His grace, love, and mercy can she run, jump, fly, flip, cartwheel, balance, and handstand for the glory of God!
He made Usain Bolt's legs; He made Usain Bolt fast; He gives Usain Bolt life and breath and everything; and He deserves all the glory for everything Usain Bolt ever did! Jesus is the greatest!
May God save all the Olympic athletes (pray for that!) so that when they compete, they feel King Jesus' pleasure and do all for His glory! (Like Eric Liddell!)
He's the Dream Team of dream teams, and He's the deepest dream of every human heart whether they know it or not!

He wins everything by just as many points as He pleases!

He wins everything by an infinite amount!
There's no one like Him! In fact, He's the only true God!
When you see these athletes perform, may their dedication, talent, power, glory, and beauty always point you to their Creator and Sustainer Who gave them all these gifts and Who is infinitely more powerful, glorious, and beautiful than all of them combined by an infinite distance!

That's my King! Do you know Him?!

He's the Underdog of underdogs and the Champion of champions all at the same time!
He won it all through defeat and through defeat He won it all!
He took upon Himself all your loses, failures, defeats, and rejections so that you might never lose, fail, be defeated, or be rejected again!
He took upon Himself your laziness, weakness, lack of dedication, sin, and ugliness so that you might be revived, strengthened, committed, forgiven, and beautiful in God's eyes – covered in the very righteousness of Jesus Christ Himself!
He lost everything that matters most on that cross so that He might win it all back and a whole lot more!
He was absolutely crushed in defeat so that He and all His blood-bought people might never be defeated again!
God raised Him up from grave, victorious over sin, death, and Satan for all time so that by faith in Him you might win the victory too!
He ran to obtain the prize!
He exercised self-control in all things like no other!
He did not run to receive a perishable wreath, but an imperishable one, and He did receive it so that we might go and do likewise!
Therefore, let us also lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely!
Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us by looking to Jesus, the Founder and Perfecter of our faith!
For the joy that was set before Him, He endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God!
Consider Him who endured from sinners such hostility against Himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted!

That's my King! That's my King!
