Jonah-Part 1

Justice is at the heart of who God is. We find streams of justice flowing all throughout Scripture, from commands to act justly toward the oppressed to the revolutionary kindness of Jesus. God is the righteous judge and His perfect justice will reign, culminating in His redemption of all things in the new heavens and new earth—a world with no more grief, crying, or pain.

But the world we live in now is distorted by sin. Injustice, oppression, hatred, and indifference are realities not only in our hearts, but in our communities, our countries, and our cultures. When the sin and suffering of the world are too heavy for us to bear, and we are unsure of the words to say or prayers to pray, we let Scripture guide us.

The bookmarks contain just a handful of the passages in Scripture that speak to God’s kingdom design for justice, mercy, love, and unity. Let these scriptures shape your prayers as you seek to understand and embrace godly justice in your own life.

Lord, here we go again!

Pray.

Think myself empty.

Read myself full.

Write myself clear.

Pray myself haught.

Be myself.

Forget myself. (From Alister Beggs)

Lord, let this message be a beacon for you. Let me be forgotten and invisible. Let them see and know you, only you. “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” Psalm 19:14

________________________________________________________________________________

The gospel is the good news that God, the loving Creator, sovereign King, and holy Judge of all, has looked upon men and women wonderfully and uniquely made in His image who have rebelled against Him, are separated from Him, and deserve death before Him, and He has sent His Son, Jesus, God in the flesh, the long-awaited King, to live a perfect and powerful life, to die a sacrificial and substitutionary death, and to rise from the grave in victory over sin, Satan, and death. The gospel is a summons from God for all people in all nations to repent and believe in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins, turning from all idols to declare allegiance to Jesus alone as King and trust in Jesus alone as Lord. All who turn from Jesus will experience everlasting, horrifying suffering in hell, while all who trust in Jesus will experience everlasting, satisfying communion with God in heaven. (Secret Church 2020, David Platt, Radical.net) For now, Jesus remains in heaven, changing the world one person at a time, but one day he will return and judge the world in righteousness. He will remove from this world all sin and all causes of sin and he will restore the cosmos to a state of peace, prosperity and flourishing and all those who have received him as their Lord and Savior will participate in his rule and enjoy his goodness forever.
