Convicted in 1973 of trying to bribe a witness, one man remained free during three years of appeals. Finally, in 1976, all appeals exhausted, he should have begun serving a four-year sentence; however, no one notified him when to surrender, and he never bothered to report. For seven years, he lived in a twilight of fear and hope. Had he escaped oversight, he wondered? Or would the arm of justice finally reach out and snatch him away? Finally, perhaps on the tip of an informant, the court routed the offender from the crack he had fallen into and ordered him to prison at a specific time. He gambled on escaping the system — but failed. Many in the world resemble that man spiritually. They somehow hope to escape divine justice, to be small enough to be overlooked, to have offended so little that no one will care. To no avail. There are no cracks to fall through in God's judgment. He exempts, overlooks, and excuses no one. His perfect knowledge thoroughly educates us in his expectations and renders conspicuous any perfection in our obedience.
