Mrs.
Jones, Do You Know Me?
A
small town prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand
in a trial—a grandmotherly, elderly woman. He approached her and
asked, “Mrs. Jones, do you know me?”
She
responded, “Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I’ve known
you since you were a young boy. And frankly, you’ve been a big
disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you
manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think
you’re a rising big shot when you haven’t the brains to realize
you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher,
Yes, I know you.”
The
lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across
the room and asked, “Mrs. Jones do you know the defense attorney?”
She
again replied, “Why, yes, I do. I’ve known Mr. Bradley since he
was a youngster, too. I used to babysit him for his parents. And
he, too, has been a real disappointment to me. He’s lazy, bigoted,
and he has a drinking problem. The man can’t build a normal
relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the
shoddiest in the entire state. Yes, I know him.”
At
this point, the judge rapped for silence and called both counselors
to the bench. In a quiet voice, he said with menace, “If either of
you asks her if she knows me, you’ll be in jail for contempt within
5 minutes!”
It
is frightening to think of someone knowing (and sharing) everything
there is to know about us! In the book of Revelation, seven letters
are sent from Jesus Christ to seven churches in Asia Minor. Each of
the letters begins with the same words: “I know thy works”
(Revelation 2:2).
It
is a sobering thought to know that as we stand before the great
Judge, there is one who knows all about us. May that knowledge serve
to motivate us to live righteous lives. –author unknown
