But like them, we can't keep ourselves clean. Bowlers end up with red marks, fielders end up with green grassy marks, etc.<BR/><BR/>Also, cricket is like the world. There are ways of playing and ways of not playing. We rebel and we match fix, we lie when we get out, we try to pretend we are playing by the rules when we are not.<BR/><BR/>Also, God set this world up like a cricket match, with everyone having a role to play, rules to live by, and a goal, but we ignore it.<BR/><BR/>Hmm, what about - sin is like getting out in cricket. There are ways which are only slightly your fault (such as an excellent ball from a bowler), or more your fault (such as when you slog a ball down the field towards a fielder) or the worst when you sin against your fellow man and destroy them (such as getting your partner run out when its your fault).<BR/><BR/>Okay, silly hat off now!Georginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114078443886123244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6160916.post-1164260665798658432006-11-23T16:44:00.000+11:002006-11-23T16:44:00.000+11:00I heard someone recently use the Australian cricke...I heard someone recently use the Australian cricket team to illustrate how Adam and Christ each represent mankind (cf. Romans 5:12-21, 1 Corinthians 15:20-28). The Australian Cricket team represents us in our ongoing struggle against the British Empire. When they win, we all win. When they lose, we all feel the shame. Similarly, Christ represented us by his substitutionary atonement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
