In this episode, Liz learns that a player that he thought was weak was really a great role model for living the Christian life.

It’s hard to find role models sometimes. Celebrities, sports players, and “heroes” you admire today turn out to be disappointments because, in the end, they are as human and sinful as everyone else. That’s why we’re called to be “imitators of Christ” (Ephesians 5:1-2) because he’s a role model that will never disappoint us. Jesus showed us how to repay evil with good. When he was falsely accused, arrested, abused, and even crucified, he responded, not with revenge, but with forgiveness. He died for the sins of those who persecuted him. That’s the ultimate way to “repay evil with blessing”!

Want to dig deeper and learn more about repaying evil with good? Check out Romans 12:17-21, Luke 23:33-34, and Matthew 5:38-41.

Challenge

Have you ever seen a line of dominoes fall over one by one? This is called the “domino effect,” where one action is followed by another action. God wants your daily life to have a domino effect. The people around you see what you do, hear what you say, and watch how you act. Your obedience to God will inspire someone else to obey and please God.

Set up a domino chain of your own! How many dominoes can you use? If you don’t have dominos, use blocks or something similar. See how one action can impact so many others!
