Judgement Day

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
> As I entered Heaven’s door,
> Not by the beauty of it all,
> Nor the lights or its decor.
>
> But it was the folks in Heaven
> Who made me sputter and gasp–
> The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
> The alcoholics and the trash.
>
> There stood the kid from seventh grade
> Who swiped my lunch money twice.
> Next to him was my old neighbour
> Who never said anything nice.
>
> Herb, who I always thought
> Was rotting away in hell,
> Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
> Looking incredibly well.
>
> I nudged Jesus, ‘What’s the deal?
> I would love to hear Your take.
> How’d all these sinners get up here?
> God must’ve made a mistake.
>
> ‘And why’s everyone so quiet,
> So sombre – give me a clue.’
> ‘Hush, child,’ He said, ‘they’re all in
> shock.
> No one thought they’d be seeing you.’
>
>
> JUDGE NOT.
>
> Remember…Just going to church doesn’t make you a
> Christian
> any more than standing in your garage makes you a car
> .
>
> Every saint has a PAST….
> Every sinner has a FUTURE!
