Like most of
Leicester, conversation after the services, in recent weeks, over tea or coffee,
has often turned to the chances of Leicester City Football Club winning the Premier
League Championship. As the season has gone on, what once seemed impossible, has
seemed increasingly possible. And now they’ve done it! Congratulations to all
at the King Power Stadium. A particular mark of Leicester’s season has been
their enthusiasm, hard work, and the way that they have worked for each other.
These are values
to be treasured by every member of the Christian church, as well. As we see
what enthusiasm means, it’s also worth remembering that the early Christian
church spread as its members enthusiastically recounted to others what the
risen Lord Jesus meant to them. May we share that enthusiasm.
