Found Out
In a museum in Jamaica there is a huge stuffed shark’s head. Beside it lies a strange bundle of old papers. This is the story:
An English ship caught the shark. The papers where found in it stomach. They belonged to a ship named “The Nancy” and proved that it was involved in smuggling and piracy. The captain handed the papers over to the authorities in Jamaica. The case against the crew of “The Nancy” came to trial, but the evidence was lacking. Seeing themselves under suspicion the men had thrown the compromising material into the sea. They thought they were safe, but how dismayed they were when the judge produced the evidence that convicted them.
How many wrongdoings, twisted truths, or moral lapses do we think have been forgotten or disappeared? But the Bible declares, “Be sure your sin will find you out” (Numbers 32:23). “And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?” (Romans 2:3). Thankfully there is full forgiveness and salvation through the blood of Christ.
