The Element of Sinful Humanity

At a recent soccer tournament, I was reminded of how we will one day not be subject to referees who are tired. How about being subject to a pilot who is distracted by his poor marriage? What about being under the care of a surgeon who despises his paperwork? Won’t it be something to enjoy life without the judgment calls of sinful humanity? What about the judge who has an agenda? What about the English professor who has no subjectivity or affinity for a particular writing style? How about spouses who don’t decide what the other was saying without asking?

Of course, all of this is precluded by the fact that there are losers, a need to be somewhere else, cursed flesh and poor health; we view these realities through the reality of no disorder, and incomplete speech. One day.... one day.... the order will be restored (Revelation 21:1).
