Jamie Roberson day, he broke into baseball as the first black baseball player. Yesterday all baseball players wore his number 42, in his honor. A good thing honoring him, 42 showing every player on the field are equal in status and importance.

Jackie Robinson day:
The point of the Op was in Christ, right here, right now we are all equal before God, and
we should be before man too. Since we are all sinners, our righteousness is in Christ, it
isn't something we can brag about due to who we are, or are not, it isn't something we
can earn by doing, since our works are not what save us. Neither does our nationality,
age, color, wealth or lack thereof, or any other superficial thing about us in this world.
What occurs in heaven will relate to what is done here, for reward, not worth. Jesus when
He was speaking about us here made it clear, whatever was done to least of His was
just as if it were done to Him. No one here is valued less than another. One can have
more skill sets, one can have a high position, that does not make them more valuable to
God. With respect to higher positions, the servant here will be greater in heaven than
those that lord over others in this life.
