Everybody loves an underdog. I have to admit that I am a happy camper today. I was thrilled to see the New York Giants defeat the New England Patriots. I was pulling for the Giants even though they were given little or no chance to defeat the previously undefeated Pats. To quote the old cliche - that's why they play the game. It was clear in the final drive to the endzone that the Giants believed that they could win. They were determined to finish strong. During the current Sunday morning message series I have referred to the opening words of Hebrews 12 several times. The words were written to some early followers of Christ who were beginning to feel like "underdogs". They were growing fearful of the threat of persecution. The challenge to them (and to us) was to be diligent and encourage one another. Finish strong.
