Slow Drivers

Imagine driving down town. You are in a hurry. You are due in traffic court in ten minutes and it usually takes you fifteen to get to the court house. Some grey haired woman is poking along down the street. You know you shouldn't do it, but you pass a double yellow line, swerve quickly back in your lane to avoid hitting an oncoming brown pickup.

Breathing a sigh of relief, you pull into the courthouse parking lot with five minutes to spare. With quick steps you make your way to the appointed room and wait for ten more minutes for court to start.

The bailiff calls, "All rise," and in walks the gray haired lady with a black robe.

God has committed all judgment to the Son. So regardless of popular thinking, if you reject Jesus, you are passing the gray haired lady on a double yellow line (John 22-23).
