Your life is...



This tombstone will surely stand out in any graveyard! Besides the obvious facts that Sal was an electrician and is buried here, what else does this monument say about him? He took pride in his work, wasn't bashful, and had a sense of uniqueness about him for openers. Beyond that, who knows? God does, because EVERYTHING this man did in his lifetime will be known at the judgement. I like what Paul says to young Timothy on the topic.


1 Timothy 5:24-25 WEB (R)
(24) Some men's sins are evident, preceding them to judgment, and some also follow later.
(25) In the same way also there are good works that are obvious, and those that are otherwise can't be hidden.


Truthfully, we only know a little about those around us. People do the most unusual, surprising things and sometimes we just never know why. But, someday we will. All things will be made evident, but not by the light bulb in this picture, rather by the omniscience of God! Besides, this bulb doesn't look like its screwed all the way in, anyway!
