Michael Vick

It has been widely publicized that Michael Vick has been signed by the Philadelphia Eagles. Eagles land Vick Here is a link to the NFL.com dealing with the Eagles signing Mr. Vick. Here also is a LINK where Mr. Vick says he will try to make the most of this second chance.

But does he deserve a second chance. I have read many articles and posts on how terrible this man is and how he should be drummed out of the NFL. What are your thoughts? What should we really do with him?

The story is one of a professional athlete that broke the law, who was inhumane to animals.

Or:

Is this a story of compassion or hatred...compassion to forgive a person that made mistakes or not?

John 8:7
The more I read about Mr. Vick the more I see hardened hearts void of mercy and grace.
Matthew 18:35 Matthew 18:1-34
We as a people condemn and HATE our fellow man all the while hiding what we do wrong. Is it right to judge others and not judge oneself? I have to admit...I am a sinner and I have done my share of wrong in my life. I see the spec in your eye but do nothing with the plank that is in mine. Matthew 7:3-5. Who among you have not lied, stolen, cheated, lusted, envied or hated as just a few examples of the plank that is in our eye?

Here is the point. God sent His Son to the cross to take our sins. Jesus died, rose and sits next to the Father interceding for you and me...and Mr. Vick. The only judgment that there is… when God asks you; “what did you do with my Son?” You either accepted Him as your Lord and Savior or you did not.

My prayer for Mr. Vick as well as you is this; that you soften your heart and accept Jesus as your Lord, that you ask Him into your heart and that you would follow Him the rest of your life.
