SINS OF THE FATHER

ON JUDGMENT DAY A GREAT SUMMONS WENT FORTH TO THE SEA, commanding that she give up her dead, and a voice called out to Hades demanding that the prisoners be released from their chains. Then the angels gathered up the whole of humanity and brought the masses to the great white throne of God. The noise was deafening, but when a mighty angel stood up and opened the great book of judgment, all living things fell silent.

The first to be judged stood up and approached the angel who held this great text. Once the accused entered the dock, all humanity rose up and spoke as one: “When we were hungry you gave us nothing to eat. When we were thirsty, you gave us nothing to drink. We were strangers and you did not invite us in. We needed clothes and you did not clothe us. We were sick and in prison and you did not look after us.”

Once the accusation had been heard, silence once more descended upon all of creation. They had pronounced their judgment on God and now waited to hear God’s defense.
