What team are you on

What team are you on?

1 Cor 1:26For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

27But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

28And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are.

When I was a young boy, we always picked teams to play football (soccer). We lined up all the kids, and started to pick. As the groups got thinner, the faces of the kids got sadder and sadder. They slowly realized that no one wanted to pick them. In the end one would often say, as he had collected the team he wanted: You can have the rest.  What a horrible feeling to be among “the rest”. Those no one wanted on their team….
But with Jesus it’s the opposite. He want the ones that no one wants on his team.
These are the ones Jesus wants on his team:

Matt 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Are you weary? Do you labour and struggle? Are you heavy laden? Congratulation. Jesus wants you. He just picked you. Come to me. Come to my team. I will make you a winner.

The greatest thing about being on Jesus team is that we have the star player. We get to win, because we are on his team.
