Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years. He passed away, to no one’s regret, and was buried in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.”

‭‭2 Chronicles‬ ‭21‬:‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬

It took evil King Jehoram just eight years terrible at his job to alienate himself from his staff and subjects.

He died to no one’s regret and was buried apart from where kings are usually buried.

The world is a cruel place.

It remembers and punishes

Contrast that with Jesus who upon our confession, remembers our sins no more and rewards us with a place at his eternal table.

As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. —Psalm 103:12

Don’t wait until life is over and you’re hated, lying in disgrace because of who you were when you were alive.

Make good memories while you still can.
