Home Run

I don't know if it has ever happened before; but on April 26, 2008 in a women's softball game it did. It was the bottom of the ninth and Central Washington University was 2 and The Western Oregon College was 0. The first two batters struck out and the next two batters both got singles. There were 2 outs and women on first and second, the next batter came to the plate which represents the winning run. Soon she had two strikes and then it happened she hit the ball over the fence; home run. As she begins her run around the bases she trips over first base and cannot make it around the bases to complete her home run. The empire says she has to touch the bases herself and pulls the rule book out for the coach to see. As they stood there arguing two young ladies from Washington University pick her up and take her to the bases so she could touch them and then finally home plate which gave the winning run to the Oregon College. On that April afternoon in 2008 the Washington University did the right thing; they could have easily sat back did nothing and won the game but they chose not to. As I read that I am reminded of another day long ago when the Lord Jesus Christ decided to give His life so that you and I might be made free.

John 3:17
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 3:18
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Long ago man tripped in the Garden of Eden and the Lord Jesus picked this whole world up and carried it to each base and one day my friend we will touch Home. All you and I have to do is just believe on Him.

John 8:31
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
What does "believe on Jesus mean?" Let me describe it this way; when you and I sit down in a chair we put all our weight on that chair and never one time do we think about whether it will hold us up or not we just put our trust in it. That is what Jesus is telling those Jews and the way that they were to increase their faith was to continue in His word (the Bible) and when they did that they would become a disciple (learner) indeed (without any question) And because of that they would know the truth and the truth that they knew would make them free. Later in that Chapter He says it this way John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
(Without any question) To be honest with you I am closer to home today than ever before and so are you if heavens your home; and if it's not you still have time please don't waste it do something today don't delay.
