Jesus Never Settles for a Clean Shot | A Comedic Bible Devotional on 1 Corinthians 13:13
1 Corinthians 13:13 names the big three: faith, hope, and love. But Jesus always takes it further. He does not just drop a clean three pointer. He hits you with an and one.
Like, “You have heard it said... but I say...” Or, “Love your enemies.” Or, “Be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect.”
Right when you think you are doing alright, Jesus adds something extra. Something impossible. Something beautiful. Maybe faith is like basketball.
Questions for the Week and Strong:
Where are you setting screens for problems you should be boxing out?
What boundary do you treat like a foul line you can casually step over?
What are you forcing like a contested three when an easy layup is right there?
This Week in Prayer and Panic Dribbling:
God, when life goes full court press, I tend to panic dribble and lose the ball. Slow me down, steady my hands, and remind me You already won the game. Amen.
