after the world ends

到了末日,耶穌還在找猶達斯;沒有人比他犯的罪更重。我只要悔改,什麼都不用怕!

after the world ends

Repent as the Ninevites did.
"They turned from sin when they
heard Jonah preach." Luke 11:32

An old legend deals with what
takes place outside the gates of
heaven after the world ends. The
last group of saints and repentant
sinners has just climbed up the
golden stairway that connects
earth to heaven. Everybody is in
a festive mood, singing and
dancing--everyone except Jesus.
He stands at the top of the stairs,
looking down toward earth. He is
obviously looking for someone.
When a saint asks him who it is,
Jesus says "I'm looking for Judas,
hoping he may have had a
change of heart before he died
and may still join us.

What point does this legend
make?

There are no hopeless situations;
there are only those who have
grown hopeless about them.

Clare Booth Luce
