1Timothy 5:25 - The Mother of all Jumbotrons

”Likewise, also the beautiful works [are] very evident, and the [ones] having otherwise - they are not able to be hidden.”

-There is nothing hidden which will not come to light.  Sooner or later - and even now, the quality of our work and our works speaks for itself.  Our lives are the real big screen, on display for all to see, whether we see it or not.

-And that’s usually the case, isn’t it?  We don’t see it.  We miss it.  We either have blind spots, or we think we’re going unnoticed.  Maybe it’s our good deeds, those which are beautiful and exemplary, those which show off the beauty of the Lord and which bring Him great pleasure.  Truth is, He sees.  He sees.  He notices.  He will never forget a single act of kindness or of service or of anything done in His Name (Hebrews 6.10).  And people notice as well.  They notice.  It’s about the heart.  The heart which overflows in beautiful works is plain for all to see.  As plain as the nose on your face.  Any and all who cross your path will catch a glimpse of Christ in your countenance.  They get a whiff of His fragrance at every encounter.  A sweet aroma, a life-giving perfume, Paul calls it (2Corinthians 2.14-16).  Either that or a death-dealing drug.  Depends on where their heart is.  But there’s no mistaking it.  Even if they don’t say a word - it’s out there.  We’re out there.  Everything we do.  All our works - the good, the bad, and the ugly.  Yes, sometimes their appearance can be delayed, or disguised somehow.  We do try to hide our junk.  And some of us, we even manage to conceal it - for a season.  But it cannot be hidden forever.  Sooner or later, we get found out.  It’s who we are - who we are always shows itself (Proverbs 10.9).  And someday, one day - the truth will come out.  The books will be opened, and all God’s people (as well as those who are not) will see it.  We’ll have a front-row seat for the grand reveal.  On that jumbotron of heaven, the mother of all jumbotrons, don't you think (or however it plays out)?  But all we concealed will be revealed.  Every last bit of it.  Hopefully, that’s all been covered by the blood of Jesus - if not, there’s a lake of fire in somebody’s future (Revelation 20.12-15).  Even some of what’s covered will be burned up, tested for the quality of the work.  And what’s left will be all that which was done through Jesus and for Him (1Corinthians 3.12-15).  There’s no hiding it.  No hiding.
