In this league.......
- Every player bats once each inning
- All players are safe on the bases
- Every player scores a run before the inning is over (last one up gets a home run)
- Community children and volunteers serve as ‘buddies’ to assist the players
- Each team and each player wins every game
It is good to see everyone feel like they are an important part of the team and that no one is looked at as different from anyone else.
To me this is like a picture of Christ and His mission. He came to this earth to give all of us an equal chance to have freedom from the burden of sin and to have the opportunity to have a relationship with our heavenly Father. No one is excluded from having this chance, neither Jew or Gentile, male or female, rich or poor. No matter what your circumstances in life are, even if you feel like you have done some things that are too horrible, you haven't ....
Ephesians 2:17-18
The Message (MSG)
17-18 Christ came and preached peace to you outsiders and peace to us insiders. He treated us as equals, and so made us equals. Through him we both share the same Spirit and have equal access to the Father.
If Christ looked at all of us as equals, there is no doubt that we should treat others as equals too. Imagine what all our churches would be like if everyone remembered this. Anyone that came through our doors would feel welcome. They wouldn't feel like they had to dress a certain way or act a certain way. They wouldn't even have to worry about whose pew they were sitting in. Everyone would just feel love and acceptance like all the folks did who were privileged to be in the presence our Savior.
Just think we could have our own "Miracle League"
Blessings!!!
