The
Fall Guy
How many of
you have ever heard of a fall guy? When
movie makers make a movie they sometimes use a stand in. The stand in is the one that gets wet or muddy
or does a dangerous stunt. The only thing is the star gets the credit for it by the people who are watching the movie. There used to be a show called "The Fall
Guy" . I watched it when I was
a kid and sometimes, In the show, the fall guy would even become injured after
a stunt.
I was thinking about football and I thought of a "fall
guy" that plays for the football
team. He's the one that pretends to have
the ball, pretends to run with it and takes a hit in order to protect the quarterback. While he's getting beat up, the quarterback
has been given the room he needs to make a winning pass.
He takes the punishment for the quarterback in hopes
to bring the whole team one step closer to
victory. Sometimes he's not noticed, but
everyone saw that great pass the quarterback threw. Everyone saw the wide receiver catch the ball and run it in
for the score.
Sometimes
players may not want to take a hit for the whole team. When you have one who will follow through on
a trick play , better know you have a brave player on your team.
Now we know Jesus is real and everything about him is real. When Jesus does something it's for real, it's not pretend. The idea I'm trying to draw from the example is that Jesus took our place. He took the fall for us. He took our blame.
Now we know Jesus is real and everything about him is real. When Jesus does something it's for real, it's not pretend. The idea I'm trying to draw from the example is that Jesus took our place. He took the fall for us. He took our blame.
Did you know Jesus took the fall for us? He took
our punishment. He died upon Calvary for our sins. He took our place so that we could become a
winner. We could become a child of God,
saved for eternity. We can live a victorious
Christian life, because of what Christ did.
Jesus took the fall for us, let us give him our best. Let us give him our life and let him direct
our path. He suffered, he was rejected,
he was beaten, he died all for you and
me. So we could be forgiven and made
alive in Christ. Made alive in the same
way Christ arose from the dead, He becomes alive in your heart when you
believe.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
