upwards basketball...

i help coach eric's upward basketball team.  each practice, half way through the practice we have a devotional time.  this is how tonight's went down.

we were talking about why Jesus came.  what it is like to be found versus being lost, Luke 15...etc...  so, i asked the question.  do you guys know what sin is? eric raised his hand and started to answer...  this is what he said, 

sin is what Jesus came and died on the cross for.  and it is what gets in our heart and keeps our heart from beating and....

i looked at the other coach, and we both started laughing out loud.  not at him, but just his answer...  the other coach said, that is exactly right buddy!

and i guess, if you think about it... theologically, it is exactly correct.  sin keeps your spiritual heart from beating and bringing life to the rest of your life.  thanks for the insight eric cooper !!! :-)
