Daily
Encouragement For June 01:
Savior & Judge
A young law school student was on his way to class
on a cold, blustery day
in January. As he was walking to class, he
watched a young boy ice
skating on a pond.
To his
amazement, the ice broke and the boy was drowning before his
eyes.
Without hesitating, the young law student ran to his rescue.
He made his
way with bravery to the edge of the hole and saved the
boy from certain
death.
Years went by and the
law student became a very successful lawyer and was
eventually
promoted to judge. One day, a dirty, long-haired man was
brought
before him for committing some serious crimes. Right away the
judge
remembered the man as the boy he saved the day at the pond.
He
called for the man to approach the bench. When he did,
the judge
said, "one day a long time ago I was your
savior, but now I have become
your judge."

“But
I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall
give
account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words
thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned.”
- Matthew 12:36,37.
