They get the pitcher to move back to the mound and the catcher is warned not to touch his bat again. Second pitch, Griffey hits a hot line drive into right field, the first baseman picks up the bag and runs into right field as the second baseman comes over and body slams Griffey to the ground along the first base line. He says he's sorry, but he thought they were playing hockey. Now the whole Seattle bench is screaming at the umpires to do something. Every game survives on its rules and its rule keepers.
Life is like that too.
And if we make up our own rules for life, we will find life falling apart also. God's Law comes to us from a loving God who wants us to know the boundaries of the good life. The Law comes from the Creator of the game of life to tell us how to play the game of life. It sets the boundaries and the rules, the foul lines and the fences, so that we know when we are in foul or fair territory. In the deepest sense of the word, no one ever breaks the Ten Commandments.
