A Sea of Red

AT A football game in Nebraska, you will see a sea of red. When their football games sell out, which is most of the time, 77,129 are in that stadium.

During the 2004 Nebraska vs. Baylor game, there again was a sea of red, nothing but red, red everywhere, except this little section, up in the corner with folks from Baylor.

Now, the Baylor folks didn’t have on red, because red isn’t Baylor’s color. It’s green. So there was a huge sea of red and then a little pocket of folks with green.

When the seventy-seven thousand people cheered, the folks in green weren’t cheering. When the folks in green were cheering, the folks in red weren’t.

Red and green, they each were pulling for their own team. The folks in green, although a smaller number, were focused on their team and busy cheering them on to victory. Christians are unique and different and are on earth to root and cheer on the cause of God. When Redskins fans come to Dallas, they are not ashamed.

When Dallas fans go to Washington, they are not ashamed. They unashamedly claim their team and set their sights on victory.
