Answer: Who cares????
The truth is it really doesn’t matter. Every young hockey player dreams of winning the Stanley Cup. Yet those who win this trophy have to return it the next season. The only thing that matters to the team that one last year’s cup is the fact that they’re out of the playoffs this year. Fame is fleeting.
Many in the city of Buffalo think our very peace and happiness hinges on whether or not the Sabres win the cup this year. They think that our image and our outlook on life will miraculously change if we were to win a national championship. Most in Buffalo are totally captivated by these games, glued to their television. Yet a Stanley Cup will not save one single soul.
The truth is you do need a Savior – however, it is not found in the Sabres.
From God’s point of view, hockey has become an idol to many people. Idolatry is one of the most serious sins in God’s eyes, and the Bible says that no idolater can enter heaven. (See 1st Corinthians 6:9). The 1st Commandment says, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:3).
Anything you love more than God is an idol. God demands that He come first. Would you rather be at a hockey game than in church? Do you love the Sabres more than God? If yes, then by God’s standards, you are an idolater. It’s called hockey idolatry and it consumes most of Buffalo.
Idolator or not, the Bible says if you break one commandment, you’ve broken them all. God says if you lied, even once in your life, you’d be a liar. Ever stolen? (If yes, you’d be a thief.) Ever used God’s name in vain? (That’s blasphemy.) Ever looked at a person with lust? (Jesus said you committed adultery in your heart.) Had sex outside of marriage? (Then you would be a fornicator.) Been drunk? (That would make you a drunkard.) Ever hated someone? (The Bible says that would make you a murder.)
The bible says, “it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” (Hebrews 9:27) What are you going to do on the day of Judgment? Will you be guilty or innocent the day you have to face a holy, perfect God? In other words, Heaven or Hell?
Be honest – you know you’ll be guilty on Judgment day, the day when all of your sins are displayed on God’s “Jumbo-tron” for all the world to see. God gave you a conscience – you know right from wrong. If you are honest, you know God will punish your sin and send you to Hell.
Our lives are like a Game 7, sudden-death overtime. Not only will your life end, it could end at any moment. Only in life, there is no next season.
Telling God you are sorry isn’t enough. And telling him you went to church and got baptized is like saying you’ll save yourself instead. If you could earn Heaven by good words, Jesus didn’t need to die.
The Bible says, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). You must repent and be willing to turn from your sin, and put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ to save you. Jesus Christ is God in a human jersey. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
The Bible says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13). Cry out to the Lord Jesus Christ to save you, to set you free from this sin-cursed world, and to give you a new heart that wants to love, obey, and worship Him.
Sabres fans, you don’t choose the devil’s team. But you are born on it. That is why Jesus Christ said, “YE must be born again.” (John 3:7). Please call on him to save you from sin, and from Hell, today before it’s too late.
