This poem is about actual events that happened about forty years ago to me and my cousin when we were teenagers in Abeline Texas. The questions written within the poem were actually asked and answered the way noted. Someone had given my cousin a religious tract portraying judgment day as God exposing all of our sins in heaven, on a big movie screen, for all to see. My cousin asked me if that was how I thought Judgment Day would actually be, but all I could answer back then was, I don't know. shortly after that, my cousin was attacked from behind by a crazy neighbor, grabbing him by the testicles. This somewhat traumatized me, and the imprint left in my mind or heart was such that I still remember it to this day. However, I now see it through the eyes of a man who has received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. I am now also a Pastor at my church and can definitely say that I have found Isaiah 1:18 to be true, "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. I have also found that all the bad, and evil committed by mankind on this earth is allowed by God to accomplish his redemptive work and get people to see that apart from Christ we cannot escape Satan's relentless grasp, nor sin and its consequences - death and eternal separation from God. The image I chose from Google is that of Jesus writing in the sand. When a group of men brought a woman caught in adultery to Jesus and asked what they should do to her (The prescribed punishment was stoning to death), Jesus simply began to write in the ground. No one really knows what Jesus wrote, but I think it might have been the Ten Commandments, and when each man saw his own sin written in the sand he dropped the stone that he was going to use against this sinful woman. Before Jesus finished writing in the sand, he said to the woman's accusers, let he who is without sin cast the first stone. When all the men dropped their stones and fled the scene Jesus asked the woman, who condemns you? The woman answered no one, Lord. Jesus responded, neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more. John 3:16-17 says,
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." This poem that I wrote is my feeble attempt to expound on God's word. I pray all those who read it will be lead to the Saving Grace of our Lord Jesus as I was 27 years ago. May God bless you all, with new life in Christ Jesus.
