In today’s world, over the last century, we have seen criminals and politicians alike flaunt the law. Our judicial system seems to be broken. We complain about it constantly. Criminals getting a slap on the hand and being released back onto the street. Corrupt politicians bending the law to standards that help them and their constituents with all sorts of pork barrel projects.
No one wants to willingly admit it outright but the corruption extends all the way to the White House and beyond. Although the cause of corruption is pure evil no one seems to want to fight against it.
It seems like in most cases, criminals and politicians alike come before judges that have either been bought off or have no moral compass. These people have witnesses against them and those witnesses are either bought off or somehow conveniently step off of the planet, and somehow these people are granted clemency.
These things make us so angry we want to spit, and we wrestle with all the fallout from all this corruption.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12
The world is a confusing place, but you have to remember one thing:
“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” 1 Corinthians 14:33. If I might comment on that, notice that the verse is not talking about any church, but the church of the saints. If that needs more explanation, the saints are the ones that have been sanctified by the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ.
Yes, this world of political corruption really annoys us sometime, but think about it – did not the same thing happen to you that happens to some of these offenders that get off scott free. We were born corrupt, in sin, and we were guilty off all offenses. No, you are not a murderer, but:
“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” James 2:10
We were all guilty, but even in our unmerited state Christ came to Earth and sacrificed Himself for all of our sins. Yes, we were just like some of the politicians and criminals we were talking about, and yet….He sacrificed Himself for you and for me. The difference is, we have a very just God, but He is also a merciful God – willing to grant clemency to all those that will accept His righteousness (and His alone).
“He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” John 3:18-19
Do you love Light?
