Recently I watched the latest remake of The Three Musketeers movie. I think I've seen at least three versions of this story and it never gets old to me. I love the combination of good triumphing over evil, humor and the young learning from the wise veterans (D'Artagnan learning from Athos, Porthos and Aramis). It's all captured in their motto: "All for one...One for all!" I've been thinking a lot lately about the great resources we have in the Lord. We have Father, Son and Holy Spirit in our lives as we face the evil that seeks to knock us off our feet. In a sense we are each like the young D'Artagnan and we have come to the big city to find fame, fortune and honor. But the first lesson we learn is that we are too weak to face our enemies in our own strength and our pride only gets in our way. We need help and we need someone to watch our back and sides and to fight alongside us. We need companions to walk with, learn from and enjoy life with. And so, as we walk today into the big city as believers in Jesus Christ we are accompanied by Father, Son and Holy Spirit. "All for one...One for all" is our motto too!
1 Corinthians 3:21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: 22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come—all are yours. 23 And you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
