Judge Not
by Dr. David J. Nixon
 Thought provoking…
I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all, or
By the lights of its decor,
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp -
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics, the trash.
 There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.
Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.
 I nudged Jesus, and asked, "What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake!"
"And why's everyone so quiet,
so somber? Give me a clue."
"Hush, child," said He, "They're all in shock."
"No one thought they'd ever see you"
