Masked

And the eye of the adulterer watches for the twilight, thinking, 'No eye can see me,' and covers his face with a mask. Job 24:15

It's twilight and no one can see me, so I'll go ahead and put on a mask. There is nothing quite like putting a mask on to proclaim to one and all that a person is up to no good. At least until certain times come upon us and then with a wave of the magic plague wand, everyone is masked. Great, now how do we tell who is up to no good? 

We have always had difficulty looking at a person and knowing the bad from the good. Western fans can throw in the ugly, but that is a subject for another day. And why should we know from a glance how to judge a person when Jesus told us not to judge and all of us were born fallen sinners anyway? One can see why we would like all the crooks and criminals to go about in a black mask. 

Why do we believe in Jesus? Without Him, God would sit on the judgment throne at the end, and He would look out upon a sea of black masks. There is none righteous, no not one. Praise God that Jesus was sent to make all the difference for us! Those who believe in our Lord get to take off the black mask of sin and wear His white robe of righteousness. 

Hallelujah to the Lord on high!
