CHAPTER THIRTEEN
Sports in the Extreme-
No helmets required
I was definetely surprised by this revelation about Heaven, that sports are played there; but as worship! How can this possibly happen, it is really simple. There are always three scoreboards, one for each team and above them, one for Jesus. Jesus gets all points, but the competition between teams is even more aggressive because each team wants to make more points for Him! The winning team gets to carry Jesus across the court or field and celebrate with him after the event. The other thing that makes it different is that no one ever gets injured, no matter what the sport! There is never a need for protective equipment which means the athlete will have more flexibility for movement or speed.
The reason sports are there is because everyone uses their gifts to bless one another and athletes have gifts! I don't think that will happen in hell though, so they better know where they will be spending eternity!
I have seen golf tournaments, football games, basketball, fishing, all water sports, barrel racing with horses and many of the extreme sports. It is certain that all sports that do not require abusive contact (such as boxing) exist in Heaven! Sports enthusiast will be excited to find that the Father did not forget those who have athletic gifts.
