Sport and the Military
Tomorrow is Remembrance Day.
This week is PE Week.
Why are these important?
The connection between military service and sport, for Australians, dates back over 100 years. Despite times of conflict and peacekeeping operations, military personnel have used sport and physical activity as a means of enjoyment, exercise, competition and rehabilitation.
For many, sport is a universal language and service personnel from different cultures and languages have been enabled to come together, despite linguistic and cultural boundaries, meaning that relationships have been established with their counterparts from other nations, as well as local civilians.
From the history of the marriage between sport and the military, many service men and women have provided stories that have recounted those moments as some the happiest of their service lives.
The apostle Paul often used military and sporting language when discussing scriptural values and principles. One famous quote is that of him summing up his life and he mentions the crown (given to the sporting hero) and the spiritual fight that he had endured in preaching Jesus to as many people as possible.
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.” – 2 Timothy 4:7-8 (ESV)
We will remember them.
