What is Justice? Justice is just another word that has many meanings. It depends on one's perception. It also depends on ones' level of knowledge. It is very often that this word such as many others become misused and it all depends according to the user's knowledge or benefits.
Justice can be one of law. Law is not always just. Many cases have been known that justice was not serve correctly and as it should have been. For example, years ago in the case of O.J.Simpson and not that far back in the State of Florida, the case of Casey Anthony. Many cases go wrong and the hands of the innocent are tied or in reality, Justice was not done!
Many other cases never made it to the media attention and yet the same fate was on them and they were as hard as for the ones that were made known throughout the media to the whole nation and world.
Justice can be one of treatment. Many people are mistreated. They are not being treated justly as they deserve. Many use it as when the person do not deserve to be treated justly. What does that really means? Is it not that each one of us is a human being and therefore should be treated with justice and respect? Why are so many involved in continual judgement of others?
Some are judged for how they look, how they dress, how they act, how they react, how they were or who they were in the past, and many other ways that are used just to avoid treating others with the justice and respect they deserve.
There is only one Justice that is fulfilled and never fails.
God's Justice.
The problem is that for many like me, sometimes if not often, doubt it because it is not done at the time we desire.
The good news is that it will be done even if we are not on this earth anymore. His justice will never fail. It might take generations, but it will surely come.
I personally have been struggling with many injustices in my life. Even if I grasp the concept of Jesus and the death of Lazarus:
Jesus, once more deeply moved, came to the tomb. It was a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. "Take away the stone", he said. "But Lord", said Martha, the sister of the dead man, "by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days." Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God." So they took away the stone.....
John 11:38-41 a
I still have not seen myself to step up to do what I need to do. I have a huge cave with an enormous giant heavy stone at its entrance. I keep waiting for Jesus to make the miracle and he is not doing it. I have to move the stone myself. I have been so scared. Not only due to the size of the stone but for the odor that lies behind it. Unfortunately for me, until I move this stone, the Glory of god will not be shown. I have tried but not hard enough. Tomorrow I will give it one more push and I am praying that strength will stay to move it completely. It will require all of me and then some. For strength, composure, money, determination and lots of courage will be needed. I asked one of the pastors at church today to pray for the season that I am entering and the steps I will be taking. All this time I have felt chained to my impossibilities, fear, disappointments, sorrows and deep pain.
It is just a leap of faith I have to take. We all should most of the time if not all the time. What have I been waiting for? Jesus came to seek the lost. Angels in heaven rejoice when a soul finds it way back to God. It is time for me too. It is time for me to go and seek the lost, recover what has been lost or taken.
For then the glory of God will shine brighter than anyone has ever seen or imagine!
