Fair?

Growing up... a phrase that has been bombarding my ears, and coming out of my lips has been "thats not fair".   We all have a desire for life to be fair.   Fair is good. We are always happy with fair.  Or at least we tell ourselves that we wouldn't complain if things were only fair.   Many take comfort in the fact that God is a just and a fair God.   However truthfully,  there should be nothing scarier than an all knowing God who is a fair judge,  He who does not let a single crime go unpunished, he who hears every widows and orphans cry.  We foolishly look at our lives and say God look at my life... my life isn't fair.   At the end of the day when we are Judged there will be nothing more to be feared but a fair judgement.   God in his infinite wisdom and love and fairness, demanded justice for our sins.  He doesn't judge unfairly... but even the best of us have no defense...  there is no defense we can put up to God because he is a fair judge.  He does not accept our excuses and weak arguments...  there is nothing to be feared more than a fair and just God.  But there is more.   Being fair is only one of Gods many qualities.  God is love.  We should love God greatly because he Loved us so much that he sent Jesus Christ to come and bear the burden of all of our punishments that we deserved.  We sinned and God demanded Justice.  God demands every debt of sin that is owed to be paid. And it was paid with  the blood of Jesus Christ.  This is Grace.  Grace is given to us by God, and it is what saves us from Justice.  Next time life isn't fair,  thank God for his grace.  Let us Thank God.  Let us thank Him, that we have escaped a fair judges condemnation because of our Savior Jesus Christ.  So lets stop complaining about life not being fair... about high taxes... about our lack of money... and all our selfish desires we have wasted so much time doing this...  We are guilty, it is through grace we are declared innocent.   So let us now go and serve the one who is full of Grace... this Fair and Loving God.
