Accountability (Revelation 20 v 11 -15 )

 Do you know who I am?,the police officers were dealing with some young people who had committed a road offence,when the mother of  one of the young  people turned up, She attempted to interfere in the officers doing their  duty,and when the officer challenged her,she said,'Do you know who I am?'. The lady held a position in local government, and was a rich person, so she felt she had the right to interfere.She soon found out that she hadn't,for all she was doing and saying was being videoed, she later  had to apologise and she lost her job in government. If you want to know what a person is like give them power,very few can handle power,it often blinds morally, a famous and popular President in America in spite of being married ,was involved with many women.When kings ruled they did terrible things  as in the case of Henry 8th,and so many others.Often those  with power do not think they are accountable ,to man or to God.  Power is given to us by God,( John 3 v 27),and it is not given to us to abuse that position,be it a parent, pastor,politician,or whoever. No one is free from accountability,one day those abusers of power will stand before Jesus and in my imagination  I can hear him say,'Do you know who I am'?,now that's just my imagination.but they will be held accountable that's for sure.
