Michael Vick
I’m sure you are aware of what this guys is famous for - and it ain’t football.
Anyways, in an effort to salvage his reputation, he is sounding very repentant in public.
”Through this situation, I found Jesus and asked him for forgiveness and turned my life over to God,” said Vick, 27. “I think that’s the right thing.”
That’s wonderful. I truly hope Jesus does make him into a new man.
However, he’s not off to a good start.
“I offer my deepest apologies to everyone,” the Atlanta Falcons quarterback said after pleading guilty in a Virginia federal court to animal cruelty charges. “And I will redeem myself. I have to.”
Come on man. Didn’t your pastor tell you that you can’t redeem yourself? This whole “Christian” thing kind of hinges on someone else doing the work of redemption for you. If you don’t get that, then you haven’t “found” Jesus at all.
