“God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they will be satisfied.”Matthew 5:6 NLT
Is what ai long for true justice or ny version of justice? Is it all about me or others? Is it kingdom justice I seek?
When I consider justice according to the Bible, I am mindful about of the lack of justice that my saviour received at the hands of religious leaders. They, of all people, should have unheld godly justice, however, their justice was full of selfish ambition and jealousy. This is the measure I must use.
Is what I am wanting for the poor, godly justice or emotive justice? If I onky see the surface plight then I am not seeing the full picture. What is most important is what my God sees. What would He have me do?
My sense of justice cannot be tainted by selfish ambition of myself or those I represent. I am currently watching Christian refugees fight for the right to leave Nepal. Nepal insists that they pay for all the time they overstay a visa, yet they give them no outlet to pay and are intractible. What is God wanting for His people? This is what I must defend. Amen!
