Will You Need a Professional Biographer?

Many years ago, a family with a troubled history decided to hire a professional biographer. They wanted to tell others about their beginning, what they had accomplished in the world, and how successful they had been. The biographer would carefully word the sketchy parts of the story so that everyone outside of the family thought the family was perfect.

All was going well until the family expressed concerns about how the biographer would handle the family's black sheep, Uncle George. Uncle George had been executed in an electric chair for murdering someone. How on earth could a biographer make this tragedy sound tolerable?

The professional biographer quickly responded to this worry of the troubled family: "No problem. I'll simply say that Uncle George occupied a chair of applied electronics at an important government institution. He was attached to his position by the strongest ties, and his death came as a real shock."

This hilariously morbid account illustrates an important truth: People will often go to the extreme in order to be viewed positively in the sight of others. Ultimately, however, the opinions of others matter very little and will change as rapidly as the raging waves of the sea. What matters, in the end, is whether we are viewed positively in the sight of God. God abhors sin, and any person who exists in a sinful state will not be viewed positively in his sight. The good news is that Jesus Christ came into this world, became a man, lived a sinless life, died a justifying crucifixion, and rose a conquering resurrection. Any person, who hears the message of the gospel, repents of his sins, and believes on Jesus Christ, will be clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. That, my friend, is exactly how a person will be viewed positively in the sight of the One who truly matters.
