But Amaziah would not listen. So Jehoash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced one another in battle at Beth-shemesh, which belongs to Judah. (II Kings 14:11 ESV)
Champion
I had a bully in elementary school. We all probably did. And we were all probably told the same thing by parents, teachers, older siblings, or advisors.
Stand up to the bully. It does not help to have someone else confront that bully. Do it yourself.
And I grew up thinking I had to fight my own battles.
It did not often work out well for me.
But Christians have someone to fight the battles FOR us. The real battles. Not the trivial things that we spend too much time fighting.
Christ fought for us, Christ fights for us, and Christ will fight for us.
The world does not understand that. He fights for us because He alone can… He alone will… and He alone must.
We have a Champion. And that turns the world upside down.
