Center field, where the ball is usually hit, if they hit left, they're swingin' early, if they hit right, they're swingin' a little slow, but if they connect jus' right, center it is. This means center field is, unfortunately, usually a back up position, get behind the right fielder if they've got it, the left fielder if they've got it, go get it if they can't, back up the infield on every play, run, run, and then run some more; if you're any good at it, center is a very rough place to play. Center field is also a power hitter position, many times power hitters are put into center, odds are they won't get hurt there, plus, they get an idea about the pitching, seeing the pitcher from behind and dead on. Dead on is a full view, all the time, and it's the view you need if you're gonna survive in this ruckus we call a world, it's getting dizzy for the Christian, and your enemy wants to try to move you left or right of center, he doesn't want you in center field in this game, he wants your focus elsewhere, so you don't see his pitch, and you don't know what to hit, and your ability to back up and get stuff done when you have to, is lessened; when he accomplishes that, he is happy. One of the most inspirational people that I know has this ability to stay in the center of things, and yet, she has this ability to remain pleasant, to remain attached, to remain loving, when all around her, people are anything but, as a result of this, she's a champion pure and simple, now you're thinking "let me guess, she plays center field on the softball team at the church," no, that would have been a bit easy, wouldn't you think? Instead what this lady does is remarkable daily- she is a wonder, and she remains centered in her walk with Christ, there you go...see, centered...uh huh, so, what about you, are you centered in Jesus? If you aren't, ask Him to move you to center field so you can get in some much needed practice, if you are are centered in Christ, welcome to the big leagues, we're gonna get after it this week, because we need to get out of the margins and into the body of the story, and you, are the lead character in the drama called, "Jesus Wins."
And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
