The Just Judge
- Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
Beloved! Do not repay evil for evil when people do harm and injustice to you. But wait on the Lord Jesus Christ and He the just Judge will do justice to you. The Bible says, “For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him” (Isaiah 30:18).
The Lord Jesus Christ is just Judge and His justice will wipe away your tears. The Psalmist David, a man after God’s own heart says, “God is a just judge" (Psalm 7:11). Yes, the Lord will never put you to shame before the people who do injustice to you but will lift up your head above them in honour and exalt you.
Many years ago, a young king ruled over a kingdom. He was a compassionate king and did all he could do to uplift the poor and the downtrodden. He implemented many social reforms and built educational institutions. He provided financial assistance for the poor to do well in life. The poor people began to flourish well in his period. But the king died when he was 48 years old.
Then another king came to power and he stopped all the welfare measures of his predecessor. He was not a good person and did not do any good for the poor. Soon, the poor people in the kingdom began to suffer. They wept in sorrow saying, “Why did our good king die leaving us in pain and agony? Had he lived for some more time, we would have seen more good days. He would have rendered justice to us and helped us to live a happy life. They lamented his loss in tears and sorrow.
Beloved! Unlike the earthly kings, the Lord Jesus Christ is the King of Kings and He lives forever! The Psalmist David says, "Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne" (Psalm 89:14). Seek Him and He shall answer your prayers and render justice to you. Apostle Paul says, “At the name of Jesus Christ every knee shall bow of those in heaven and of those on earth” (Philippians 2:10). Cheer up! The Lord will do justice to you and bless you.
Prayer:
Loving Heavenly Father,
You are the just Judge and do justice to those who cry out to You. Father, help me not to repay evil for evil but wait on You for Your justice. Father, let Your mercy and goodness follow me all my days of life. In Jesus’ name I pray.
Amen.
