Earl Weaver was the Manager for the World Champion, Baltimore Orioles some years ago. He had a knack which pleased the fans while it tormented the Umpires. Earl would often run out onto the field to dispute a call which the umpire had made. As he argued he would get nose to nose with the Ump and the two would yell and "spitball" one another and smell each other's bad breath. Often Weaver would end his arguement by walking away about 20 feet then turning around with a shout even the fans in the first few rows could hear:
"Are you gonna get any better, or is this the best we can hope for?"
Oh! The fans would cheer and clap and holler in great amusement as the Umpire stood there in embarassment!
I am so grateful that Jesus didn't just get by when He paid the penalty for our sins.
He didn't sluff off
He didn't cut corners
He didn't barter
He didn't tap out!
He was the best and gave his best....all the Time...and still does today! The Bible tells us He sits at the right hand of the Father praying for you and me right now! It can't get any better than that!
That's our Jesus! What a Savior!
This is my perspective! What's yours?
Have a Spirit-Filled day!
I love you!
