What is justice? I recently interviewed a judge and asked him this question. He cannot give me the definition. He only said that different judges may have different opinion about individual case. Therefore, he applies his experiences from the past to do his best in the judgement.
The Bible says, “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.” (Psalms 97:2b-3). However, for God guards the lives of His faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked, Christians can rejoice in Him, who reigns the whole universe.
I read the book called “Surviving Hitler: A boy in the Nazi death camps”, which is about the Jewish young man survived in the Nazi concentration camp through holding the hope of seeing his family someday and having God’s grace from other people’s help. After the war was over, he ran out of the cell in great excitement and told other prisoners the good news. Some people didn’t dare to believe the freedom finally came to them. But when they saw all the German soldiers left, they were overjoyed.
Are you still in your own prison of the evil darkness? Jesus Christ has come to set the people who believe in Him free. God is just but He also has great mercy. That’s why God sent Jesus Christ to come to the world for bringing the good news of freedom, peace and joy established in His Kingdom. He wants to give mercy to the people who know they are suffering in the darkness. He wants to set them free.
Jesus Christ is the good news for the people who need to see there’s a heavenly hope in depression, painful illness, handicap or coma; there’s joy in Jesus Christ to persevere the believers to the eternal life. Come to Him. Our God reigns. Praise His name!
So I pray for my neighbors to desert the evil taste and come to love the truth and justice. I pray God reigns in their household and the neighborhood.
