Greetings Dear Reader,
The purpose of redemption is not just to bring us back to
the Father. It is also to satisfy his
justice. In any good society there must
be justice. There must be a satisfaction
of justice for there to be true peace and reconciliation. Forgiveness is not enough. The Father accepts the unjust voluntary death
of the Son as satisfaction.
SPOILERS FOLLOW:
In Batman v Superman
we see the birth of The Justice League.
Batman declares war on Superman.
Lex manipulates them both. Batman
does not deal justly with Superman.
Wonder Woman tries to deal justly with them both. Alfred seems to be the voice of reason that
no one hears.
The movie never addresses how unjust Batman is in dealing
with Superman. Once he sees that he is
wrong though, Superman joins forces with him without question. Superman could leave humans to their
fate. He knows there are other worlds where
he could find refuge. Instead he joins
the human in redeeming mankind from its own evil.
It forces me to ponder who just we are with Christ. Do we really judge him justly? We use his name as a swear word. We curse him.
We reject him. We declare war on
him. We violate the rights of others in
his name. We claim to follow him and do
so without living up to his prime directive to love EVERYONE.
The morning of the resurrection is the true dawn of
justice. It is the day where justice is satisfied
and mercy wins. It is the moment when
the God/man chose to rescue, forgive, and befriend those who beat, mocked, and
crucified him. He asks us only to follow
in faith. He asks us to love and
forgive. I wonder Dear Reader if you
have given Jesus an honest unfiltered look.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
