Final Appearance

A wicked man once seized the house that belonged to an old man. After this, he even filed a case in the court against the old man, in the hope that the latter would succumb to pressure and accept his illegal occupation of his house.

The court hearing began. The case dragged on, and the two men had to keep appearing in court. The old man’s money and time was now being unnecessarily wasted on the case. But he didn’t get upset. When he met the usurper, he simply said to him, “Remember, the final appearance will happen in God’s court.”

In the present world, people engage in wrongdoings. They wrongly capture other people’s wealth or harm them in other ways. This doesn’t prick their conscience. In fact, they think that their ability to hurt others shows that they are very powerful and clever. They even brag about their oppression of others, imagining it to be some big success.

But all such victories and successes are totally false. Their true worth will be revealed when, after death, every person appears before God. At that time, oppressors will have no words to utter in their support. They will have no option then but to acknowledge their crimes. But then, to do so at that time will not help them at all!
