5-25-2008 HOMERUN�is more than an American past-time. The batter hits the ball far, he leaves home to run the diamond, and then returns home...without stopping. In life, a person leaves the proverbial �home� of innocence and safety with God in the womb to run the proverbial �diamond� of life. Along the route, Jesus offers himself as the way for the person to return �home� to God. By trusting in and uniting to Jesus, an eagerness begins to grow within. It becomes the disciple�s new instinct. He/She isn�t satisfied just �running the bases� of life�running home is now the goal. Anticipation compounds through life�s pains and trials as a Christ-follower. We can relate. It�s with that uneasiness we can echo what the early saints cried to Jesus: �Come, Lord Jesus.� For when He comes again will we truly be home. Let�s use this morning to help us lean towards Christ!!
