0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to sports spectrum's weekly devotional here on the sports
0:18.3	Spectrum podcast.
0:19.5	Let's get to today's devotional with our friend
0:22.2	Bryce Johnson from unpacking it from March 31st, 2024.
0:31.7	The men's and women's NCAA tournament has been great so far with many tight and competitive matchups.
0:39.0	As fans, we root for buzzer beaters and overtime games.
0:42.9	For coaches and players, though, their goal is to put away their opponent convincingly.
0:48.7	They love a good blowout.
0:50.7	The key for these winning teams is not letting their opponent hang around and when they do get

1:29.6	the next round in the tournament, there's a parallel to how we as followers of Jesus put away sin
1:35.9	in our lives. Thankfully, Jesus sacrificed his life on the cross on our behalf, saving those who put
1:43.2	their trust in him from the penalty of
1:45.3	sin, which is death. He also put away the power of sin, as Hebrews 926 tells us, he came once for
1:53.5	all at the end of the age to put away the power of sin forever by dying for us. When we place our faith
2:00.8	in Jesus and receive the Holy Spirit, we rely on him to help us
