Do the injustices in the world sometimes get to you? When we look at the news we learn that a Christian pastor in Iran has been sentenced to death for the crime of converting from Islam. The courts are overturning the will of the people (and ignoring the will of God) by redefining marriage. Terrorists in Europe who are responsible for slaughtering hundreds of people are set free on technicalities (or for the sake of their human rights). We also face injustice in our personal lives – dealing with employers, banks, businesses and even family members.
The Psalmist confesses that when he observed the apparent prosperity of the wicked, he almost slipped and fell into doubting God's justice. The Psalmist also tells us how he regained his balance by taking his eyes off of the earthly here and now and taking an eternal and heavenly perspective. When we face injustice we need to follow in his steps.
No-one was more unjustly treated than our Lord Jesus. Because it is the last Sunday of the month we will remember His death for His people as we celebrate the Lord's Supper. We also recall how through the resurrection Jesus was vindicated and exalted.
Please read Psalm 73 before coming to church. You may also read Psalm 37 (which has a similar theme).
