As a freelance proofreader I get paid to notice others’ mistakes. When I see others’ mistakes, fault-finding becomes a
stone I roll in front of a tomb. Like Pilate who said, Take a guard…Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how
(Matthew 27:65, NIV). I try to guard the tomb to keep the undeserving away, to keep Christ “safe.” Yet God is
the One who does the saving. God is the One who does the redeeming. To judge someone is to say that God is
not all-powerful, all knowing and merciful beyond belief. And that is simply not the way I want to live.
I want to see the living Christ in others and in myself. No amount of earthly power can limit what God can do to save a life.
Posting a guard will keep Christ in the tomb---make no mistake about it. My Lord lives!
