Where’s the evidence?

The evidence against William Hare and Rajendra Srivastava has largely melted away.

Literally.

The two men were arrested in Salem, Massachusetts on February 12 for stealing the dragon head of an ice sculpture that was part of a downtown celebration that weekend.

The ice sculpture was placed in an evidence refrigerator at the police department, but a malfunction with the refrigerator has resulted in most of the evidence … melting!

Safer than a cold refrigerator is the record of our lives that God keeps. And some day, every one of us will have to stand before Him and give an account. The evidence for and against us won’t melt away. The record is secure. There is but one hope for us on that day when we stand before a perfectly just God:

“Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away,” Acts 3:19.

God’s forgiveness is greater than a blow dryer held to an ice sculpture. By turning from sin, and turning to God, our sins are — quite literally — wiped away! So how’s your record: securely on ice, or eliminated by the blood of Christ?
