He is indeed HIM. God desired to participate in football, thus He had to abbreviate His name from Messiah to Messi. Messi is now the display picture of numerous individuals, and everyone is discussing him. Consider the reaction when you revere your God with the same devotion that many people have for Messi. Consider the reaction when you esteem your pastor with the same admiration that many people have for Messi. They will criticize you. Suddenly, they will recall that Christianity is perceived as a Western religion. Interestingly, they do not argue that football is a Western sport. They will advise you to be more rational, suggesting that your thought process is flawed. "You have been indoctrinated," they will say. Meanwhile, they are purchasing jerseys, placing bets, and investing substantial amounts of money in the team they support. Some have even traveled to watch the final match, incurring significant expenses. However, when we contribute substantial amounts to the church, they disparage us, labeling our pastors as swindlers and using other derogatory terms. We are all aware of our actions.
