“WHAT COLOR IS GOD’S GRACE?”
By Rev. Dan Minor - revdminor1945@gmail.com _____________________________________
“For God so loved the world …” John 3:16
The pain of rejection is probably one of the most common pains on the face of the earth. Yet to be excluded because of one’s race can be the most painful rejection of all. As our nation has again seen in recent weeks, the feeling of not being heard, respected or accepted as equals can lead to more hurt, anger, destruction of property and more violence.
One of the great stories of baseball is the story of Jackie Robinson. Jackie Robinson was the first black man to play baseball in the big leagues. He knew the feeling of rejection as many notable persons had before and since.
Brooklyn Dodgers president, Branch Richey, gave him a chance to succeed. Branch Richey was a good man who offered his time and talent to the game of baseball. He had the ability to see the potential in players and he was especially committed to the principle that if a sport was truly national, then no one should be excluded. He looked for the right person to break the so called “color barrier.” Then, in 1947, he discovered Jackie Robinson. He signed Robinson to play baseball for the Brooklyn Dodgers. The Major Leagues had not had an African-American player since l889, when baseball became segregated. In his first year Jackie became the National League Rookie of the Year and in l949, he was named the National League’s Most Valuable player of the Year. He led Brooklyn to a World Series championship in l956. He retired that same year and became an outspoken activist, a precursor to the civil rights movement of the l960s. He was eventually inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in l962. He died in l972, from a heart attack in his home, at the age of 53.
When he was first interviewed by Branch Richey, he was told to never respond when others mistreated him. When he started out he was shunned by some of his own teammates. He endured racial slurs from both the grandstand and members of opposing teams.
There were attempts to physically hurt him as well as death threats against his family.
In his autobiography he told of a moment that changed his life forever. It happened in l948 when he was thrown out of a game for heckling the umpire on what he considered a bad call. He stated that it was a great moment because he was not thrown out because he was black. It was because he had been treated like any other player. He said the best headline he ever received was the next day: “JACKIE JUST ANOTHER GUY.”
Jesus knew the meaning of rejection. He was cheered, jeered, spat upon and tormented. Yet, He forgave His enemies and gave His life for us. The good news is that Jesus accepts us just the way we are. There are no exceptions!
The Bible says, “For God so loved the WORLD…” (John 3:16). That includes everybody. God’s grace is not for some but for all people.
Prayer: Dear Lord, thank You for Your amazing grace. In Your strong name. Amen
