"because thou hast taken unto thee thy great power, and hast reigned." (Rev. 11:17)
Babe Ruth has ruled the baseball diamond since the invention of the sport, and what's more, altho' he had the ability to whack the ball clean out of the park, IF NECESSARY, HE WOULD SACRIFICE to bring someone Home. There was hardly anyone better to send into the batter's box.
To those who might not be acquainted with baseball terminology, a quick explanation: usually, a good player, would simply hit the ball hard when it was his turn to bat. Rarely would he let himself look bad for the sake of a teammate, but apparently, Babe Ruth did this.
On the Cross, Jesus had the authority to call 10,000 angels and show everyone He was God. But He sacrificed Himself for my sake, that I would be able to get to Heaven. It didn't make any difference that He didn't look good and people would say He was weak and helpless against those who nailed him to the Cross. Jesus has the power.
Something else God tried to tell me:
"That's my grandson." a proud grandmother at a little league game beamed at the achievement of a boy on the grounds. SHE KNOWS HIM PERSONALLY--HE IS FAMILY. "Let not the wise, the rich, the mighty boast; but even the weakest person can boast: I know Him - He's my Father! (Jer.9:23,24)
Babe Ruth ruled the baseball diamond, maybe. Jesus has reigned as King of the Universe!
(Daddy played a lot of baseball when he was younger, did a lot of coaching too. I found a photo of him in 1948 but hoped I could post it without all my readers forgetting the rest of the post. I'm sure Daddy would be saddened if he thought a photo of his own baseball years, instead of furthering God's truth, lessened interest in it! That won't happen, will it?)
