Day 15 - Soft on Crime?

God is both a God who judges with justice, and also a God of mercy. Jejus has made it possible for God to combine both justice and mercy.

Psalm 9:13-20
1. Rely on the justice of God
justice carries the sense of putting things right.

Thank you, Lord, that you are a God of justice. Thank you that one day there will be justice for the people of Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, Sudan, North Korea, Eritrea and every other place where we see injustice in our world today. Thank you that one day there will be justice for the poor and the oppressed.

Matthew 12:1-21
2. Receive the mercy of Jesus
Jesus combines justice and mercy.
Unlike many, Jusus continues to show us mercy, love and compassion when we are weak and fragile. When we are fragile, Jesus handles us with care.
Rather than being crushed by God's justice, you are se free by it. At the cross, jusice and mercy meet.

Thank you, Jesus, that you came as the suffering servant. Thank you that you enable justice and mercy to come together through your sacrifice on the cross.

Genesis 31:1-55
3. Rejoice in the sacricie of God

Father, how can I ever thank and praise you enough. Thank you that you are just and merciful. Thank you for the sacrifice of Jesus. Thank you that, in times of injustice, I can look to you for protection and mercy. Help me to be merciful, as you are merciful to me.
