We all have had the thought at one time or another, Life is just not fair. It may be something personal to us like being treated unfair at work, or a spouse letting you down, or a friend who turned against you, or even someone close to you getting bad news about their health. There are also societal injustices like starving children in third world countries or sex trafficking of teenage girls.. The list could go on and on with ways life is not fair. I believe it is safe to say that we have all experienced unfairness.
Think about it, we live in a world where people focuses on their selves and live with priorities that only focused on them and their family. Even good people become unfair and don’t even realize it. This has been an issue since the beginning of time. Jesus, who was the only perfect man faced life not being fair. He was wrongfully punished and murdered. If Jesus, the king of kings found life to be unfair, I wonder then how we can expect life to fair for us.
In reality we don’t deserve for life to be fair. The more I think about it I find myself being thankful that it’s not. I realize that sounds really strange but if life was fair and I got what I deserved I would have no hope of making heaven my home. You see, there is one just Judge who has the ability to know what is fair and what is not. At the end of our lives God, the just Judge, will judge us and no matter how good we think we are we will be found guilty. Why? Because the bible tells us in Romans 3:23 that we have all sinned and fell short. So in fairness we deserve death because Romans 6:23 tells us the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternally life. So if life were fair I would deserve death because I am a sinner. Believing in Jesus’ unfair death, gives me an undeserved payment for my sins and allows me to make heaven my home. John 3:16 shares that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but will have eternal life. So, anyone who chooses to believe can also enjoy life being unfair….
