Author David Waddell draws on two references related to baseball to form his thoughts on the choices one has when deciding between grace and legalism. One is a statement from Yogi Berra, who said, "If you come to a fork in the road, take it." The other reference deals with a short skit performed by the comedy duo, Abbott and Costello, titled "Who's on First." Waddell points out that every follower of Christ faces a constant fork in the road, where they must choose the path of grace or the path of legalism. Waddell provides examples from his life that relate to the situations where Jesus dealt with the Pharisees and the letters of the Apostle Paul, whose ministry constantly pointed people to grace by faith rather than adherence to Jewish law.
