The underdog ( 1 Corinthians 1 v 18 - 31 )

It  was the EURO final of 2004 ,between Greece and Portugal, Greece were the underdogs by a long way,Portugal had the world class Ronaldo  playing for them,but in spite of that,Greece the underdogs won,1-0  We read in 1 Corinthians 1 v  26 - 27 that God chooses,'foolish things,weak things, lowly things,  despised things,and in James 2 v 5 ,the poor of this world.I have a picture of Christian women praying in  Pakistani,seemingly they are doubly despised for being female and for being a Christian.There are many others one could mentioned,whom one could class as underdogs in this world,those Hindus who are of the low casts, are despised,the world is full of people who never get a fare crack of the whip,underdogs.Here is the wonderful good news ,God loves the underdog,he welcomes them into into his kingdom, with open arms. No matter if you are disabled, poor, uneducated,whatever your colour or race, red and yellow black and white,all are precious in His sight. There is an old Irish song which goes,'If your Irish come into the parlour,there's a welcome there for you,' I don't know about the parlour, but I do know that if you trust Jesus as your Saviour,you will be more than welcomed into Gods kingdom,for in Gods sight there are no underdogs only sinners who need a Saviour.
