Whatever the case may be, the day will come, as it comes for every person, when Derek Jeter will be old, worn, tired, and weak. That is, if his life is not tragically cut short by disease or a fatal accident. The day will come, as it comes for most people, when Jeter will look back at everything he accomplished, personally and professionally, and likely ask himself, Is that all there is?
King Solomon, the historic figure whose life is chronicled in the Bible, is known as the wisest and richest king Israel ever had, and likely the wisest and richest king the world has ever seen.
You name it, and Solomon had it. He had it all. While Solomon was blessed with more than the human mind can comprehend, he would eventually allow it all to go to his head and he would turn his back on God. Later in life, Solomon would come to his senses. He came to realize that every earthly thing he amassed, every plaudit received from man, all of it was nothing more than vanity. In the end, it was all worthless. Eternally speaking, it meant nothing.
Solomon would likely agree with me. The one thing I have never seen, the one thing you will never likely see, is a hearse transporting a dead body to a cemetery while pulling a U-Haul trailer. The end of the matter; all has been heard.
Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil Ecclesiastes My hope for Derek Jeter is that he will not find ultimate contentment in all he has accomplished in this life. I hope he comes to realize what he does in this life is not all there is.
I pray that the Lord will allow Derek to understand that his chief end, his whole duty is to fear God and keep His commandments. For just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment Hebrews No, God will bring every deed into judgment, whether good in the eyes of man or evil in the eyes of God.
Since God sees the good works of man as filthy rags Isaiah , and since God sees every act of a man that is not done by faith in Jesus Christ and for His glory as sin Romans b , Derek will not receive yet another trophy or entrance into heaven when he stands before God, especially if he is counting on his own perceived goodness or success in life to garner him forgiveness and absolution.
Like me, Derek has sinned during his life. Like me, Derek has sinned more times than he can count. I can make such an assertion because the Word of God says, For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Romans The wages of sin is death Romans a. And, because God is good, holy, righteous, and just He must punish sin.
The punishment God ascribes for sin is eternity in hell Matthew ; Revelation While the Bible makes it clear that the wages of sin, what we all earn for our sins against God, is eternity in hell, the same verse finishes with these words: but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord Romans b.
And then He voluntarily went to the cross. Yes, it was the Roman government that carried out the despicable act. But they were all merely instruments in the hands of another. For it pleased God the Father to crush God the Son under the full weight and fury of His wrath against sin. God the Father made God the Son, who knew no sin, to become sin on behalf of those who repent and believe the gospel so that through the sacrifice of His Son many would be made righteous in the eyes of Almighty God.
Jesus shed His innocent blood on the cross. Jeter had trouble gripping the baseball, prompting Yankees manager Joe Girardi to pull him from the game on Sunday. I got hit in the same finger. Jeter has been hot at the plate. Before his homestand came to an abrupt end, Jeter was hitting. Girardi said giving Jeter an off-day was an easy call. Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez will report to the team's facility in Tampa, Fla.
On Thursday, Rodriguez is scheduled to begin baseball activity for the first time since undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee July Still, Girardi stopped short of giving an exact return date for Rodriguez, who is three weeks removed from surgery. He was originally expected to miss three to four weeks.
