As the Olympics in Brazil come to an end, it is worth reflecting on what a Christian can learn from an Olympian. In many ways, they're not so different! Being a successful Olympian takes time, dedication, good coaching, teamwork, and the ability to pick yourself up when things don't go so well. These same characteristics are required to be a 'successful' Christian too. But, the key difference is that the root of an Olympian's success is their own endeavour and hard work, whereas a Christian's 'success' comes from God!
