It seems we grow up hearing and saying those words: “It’s not fair!” The
interesting thing is that while the people around us may not agree with our
statement, no one ever objects and says, “Who cares about what is fair?” We
seem to be born with this understanding that there is fair and unfair, right
and wrong, justice and injustice. Why doesn’t anyone ask, “Where does our sense
of justice come from?” It may be that the reason for not asking that question
is it leads to the uncomfortable conclusion that if human justice is to mean
anything, there has to be some kind of supernatural or divine justice.
This weekend at our worship services we’re going to be studying the
sentencing of Jesus Christ to die on the cross. His execution was a travesty of
human justice but the perfect fulfillment of divine justice.
Throughout history we see how human justice has swayed back and forth on
the pendulum of either being too lenient or too harsh. But no one will ever
seriously claim there was a time when we humans got justice perfectly right. It
is in the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, however, that God gets justice
right forever.
If you are sick of living in a “not fair” world, join us for one of our
worship services this weekend!
