Am I ever glad for yet another weekend! I discovered a student had been saying a Korean word with a foul meaning - which helped explain why the other students had laughed when he used it. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper, and let him know. I said if he ever used that word in my class again, I would write him up a "yellow card". He certainly knew I was not impressed. And it is this kind of thing that really makes me happy when I get to a weekend.
On the bright side, I had the privilege of sharing the good news about God's coming judgement with my last class. "Good news?", one may ask. "Yes", I would reply, "good news!" I was explaining that I would be happy to leave this world and go home (i.e. heaven), when a student said, "Don't you Christians say that unbelievers will go to hell?" I explained, "Well, I simply believe that, as sinners, we need our sins paid for. If our sins are not paid for, then we have reason to be concerned." I also recommended Psalm 96 and 98 for reading on the topic of why God's coming judgement is such good news. And I recommend it yet again, to anyone interested.
You see, we all suffer wrong, and we all know it ought to be judged. I ask, however, do we know that the judge of all the earth will, indeed, settle all accounts perfectly? According to the Bible, we ought to.
Sincerely,
Daniel
