|PIC1|Brian Irvine won a Scottish Cup Winners medal with Aberdeen, and represented Scotland 9 times. But there is more to his life than simply football:

It is the job that many boys would dream of, and I dreamt of as a boy, and having scored the winning penalty for my boyhood team in the Scottish Cup Final, and representing my country, as a boy you’d have thought that would have been everything.

But having experienced these things, I think I have authority to compare with the relationship I have with Jesus Christ. And again, using footballing language, they’re just not in the same league, there is no comparison. And these footballing achievements in my life mean nothing without a relationship with Jesus Christ. They are temporal, they’re past, they’re shallow, but a relationship with Jesus Christ means everything, in the big high moments, and the low moments of life, and the every day moments of life, and that makes a difference.
