Published in the Easter 2006 edition of 'Spotlight', a publication distributed free twice a year throughout the parish. I am a bit of a sports fan, especially when it comes to rugby. Since many sporting events take place when I am not at home, I record them. When it's time to sit and view the tape, unlike most people, I don't rewind to the beginning to watch it. Instead, I rewind to the climax to discover who won and who lost. If my team has won I'll rewind the game back to the beginning, get out some snacks, and watch the whole game. Some have told me this method can't be much fun. On the contrary, no matter how bad things are for my team, I don't have to worry because I know the end of the story. That's how we ought to think about what Jesus did for us on the cross -we ought to have a 'VCR mentality'; no matter how bad things look, if we have given out lives to Him we don't have to worry because we know the end of the story.
