Human justice doesn’t always work the way it should. The simple fact is that our judgement is imperfect – it always will be.
But we serve a God who is absolutely right and just, and is angry at what we do to ourselves and what others have done to us. He can be counted on to execute perfect justice in his timing, not ours.
That justice includes the penalty imposed on his own beloved son Jesus Christ for our sins, our shortcomings, our evil deeds…
9 Then Jesus went over to their synagogue, 10 where he noticed a man with a deformed hand. The Pharisees asked Jesus, “Does the law permit a person to work by healing on the Sabbath?” (They were hoping he would say yes, so they could bring charges against him.)
11 And he answered, “If you had a sheep that fell into a well on the Sabbath, wouldn’t you work to pull it out? Of course you would. 12 And how much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Yes, the law permits a person to do good on the Sabbath.”
13 Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” So the man held out his hand, and it was restored, just like the other one! 14 Then the Pharisees called a meeting to plot how to kill Jesus.
Matthew 12:9-14 (NLT)
He is the Rock, his works are perfect,
and all his ways are just.
A faithful God who does no wrong,
upright and just is he.Deuteronomy 32:4 (NIV)
