There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer
male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
Now here's the question I want to ask you? Did the pitcher hurl a perfect game, or was the entire
team--particularly Rusty Greer--responsible for that no-hitter? The answer is, of course, that
pitcher could not have done it alone.
We also cannot do it alone. We need Jesus today and everyday.
(Galatians 3:28
NRSV)
Kenny Rogers of the Texas Rangers baseball team had just pitched the 12th perfect game in
modern major league history. The opposing team had no hits, no runs and no one even reached
first base. The game featured a diving catch by rookie outfielder Rusty Greer in the ninth inning to
preserve this perfect game. Greer, a center fielder, made a sensational catch of Rex Hudler's
lead-off line drive in the ninth. "I was going to give it my best effort whether I caught it or not,"
Greer said. "No matter what, I was going to dive. I got a pretty good jump, dove and it fell in my
glove."
God of community, bring me close to your community of faith today. Amen.
