I believe that our concept of justice has been tainted by the courtroom television shows. They employ celebrity judges to give justice in 30 minute episodes, based upon the shady testimonies of the plaintiff and defendant. The litigants do not hire professional attorneys, nor provide solid evidence, but are more motivated by appearing on television than in justice. Evidence is sketchy and judgment is quick.
Unfortunately, the off camera real world seems to operate in the same manner. Every day we read or hear about some judicial decision that we strongly disagree with and wonder how justice is served. Even in the higher courts decisions appear to be made based upon some personal or political bias.
Some day we will all stand before God to be judged for all we have done. Those of us who have trusted in Jesus Christ for salvation will be represented by Jesus Himself. He will advocate for us and we will not be condemned because His blood and death on the cross redeemed us. However, those who haven’t trusted in Jesus for salvation will be condemned for their sins of unbelief and rebellion against God. God is perfectly just and because He is also holy, He will direct His wrath against the unrepentant. II Chronicles 19:7 says, “Now then, let the fear of the Lord be upon you. Be careful what you do, for there is no injustice with the Lord our God, or partiality or taking bribes.”
The time is short. Decide today to trust Jesus with your life and for your salvation. He is trustworthy. Judgment is real and God is just.
