I Predict One Day You Will Stand Before The Seat Of Judgment (5 of 5)

Revelation 20:11-15
OPEN: Several years ago, a Charlotte, North Carolina man, purchased a case of rare, very expensive cigars, insured them against ... get this ... fire. Before he had made a single payment on the policy, he smoked every last one of those 24 cigars... and then he filed a claim against the insurance company stating that he had lost the cigars in "a series of small fires." The insurance company refused to pay citing the obvious reason that the man had consumed the cigars in a normal fashion.
Well the man sued the insurance company.
And he won!
The judge ruled that - since the man held a policy from the company in which it had warranted that the cigars were insurable, and also guaranteed that it would insure the cigars against fire, without defining what it considered to be "unacceptable fire," it was obligated to compensate the insured for his loss.
Rather than endure a lengthy and costly appeal process, the insurance company accepted the judge's ruling and paid the man $15,000 for the rare cigars he lost in "the fires."
But after the man cashed his check the insurance company had him arrested.
Can you guess the charge?
Arson! 24 counts of arson! (see footnote)
APPLY: Now, that's poetic justice. This man tried to bilk the insurance company out of 1000s of dollars and he paid the price for his arrogance.
There's something inside of all of us that says that there must be a day of judgment.
There must be a day when the wicked must be made to pay.
The unrighteous must be brought to justice.
Those who are evil must face judgment and punishment.
And the God assures us that - YES - there's going to be a day of judgment.
Hebrews 9:27 tells us "it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" KJV
2 Corinthians 5:10 says: "we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each o ...
