“Which Side Will You Be Standing?”
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.”
~ Matthew 25:31-33 NIV
Two stories appear occasionally in the media news. One story will reveal the apprehension of someone who committed a crime years ago but escaped capture and is finally brought to justice. The other story will tell of an individual who was incarcerated for many years for a crime he or she did not commit and finally is freed. In both cases, justice was delayed but finally done. When we observe our world, we see examples of both things. The wicked often escape judgment and appear to live a life of ease. And “the righteous”, seemingly innocent or good people often endure bad things which they don’t deserve. And we wonder, where is the justice?
Why do good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people? But justice is coming very soon through our Heavenly Father, God the Creator, God! Jesus Christ who will “judge the living and the dead at His appearing” (2 Timothy 4:1), judging “the secrets of men” (Romans 2:16). So stop today for a moment and thank God for His scales of justice that will be balanced in due time.
“LET GOD BE THE JUDGE.
YOUR JOB TODAY IS TO BE A WITNESS.”
~ WARREN W. WIERSBE
“Your arm is endowed with power; your hand is strong, your right hand exalted. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you. Blessed are those who have learned to acclaim you, who walk in the light of your presence, Lord.”
~ Psalms 89:13-15 NIV
Amen…
