Read the Fine Print
My husband Bill thought he’d given the Postal Service plenty of notice about his planned retirement date. Much to his surprise the fine print stated he must give 60 to 90 days notice. Oh, he could still retire all right…he just wouldn’t get any checks until the paperwork was completed in 60 to 90 days. Since his coworkers had already sent out the invitations for the retirement party, they decided whether or not he actually retired, the show must go on. Bill was left having to explain to his postal customers why he kept hanging around after his send-off party. Many of us struggle with and often avoid fully reading documents. Even the Bible can fall victim to our methods of skimming. I’m wondering how well failing to read the fine print will play on Judgment Day.

It Wont Play Well
Gail;
-----I don’t think failing to read the fine print of the Bible will play well at all on judgment day. And I especially think it will play worse for those to whom Christ gave magnifying glasses, those elders, preachers, and church leaders, as we call them, yet have not lived nor led in that fine print. In fact, I do not think it will go well for any of us on That Day, because the more we read the Bible, the finer the print gets. But thanks and glory and praise to God, the final verdict of That Day rests not on our handling of the fine print, but on our acceptance of the bold print - JESUS SAVES, JESUS SAVES. How much, nevertheless, of our sorry backside is found worthy of saving will depend upon its orientation to the fine print.
