Message notes by Josiah Schwartz, April 11 2021
'BROKEN SIGNPOSTS | JUSTICE'
“WE ALL CRAVE JUSTICE, YET STRUGGLE TO BELIEVE IF THINGS CAN BE MADE RIGHT.”
JOHN 3:16-21
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.
“There is no judgment against anyone who believes in him. But anyone who does not believe in him has already been judged for not believing in God’s one and only Son. And the judgment is based on this fact: God’s light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. All who do evil hate the light and refuse to go near it for fear their sins will be exposed. But those who do what is right come to the light so others can see that they are doing what God wants.”
GOD OF JUSTICE
- JESUS CAME TO SAVE, NOT JUDGE.
- THE JUSTICE OF GOD IS THE MANIFESTATION OF GOD’S LOVE.
JOHN 8:1-11
Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them. As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd. “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”
They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust.
When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
ROMANS 8:33-34
Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself. Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us.
THE ACCUSED
- IN SPITE OF CLEAR GUILT, JESUS CHOOSES TO GIVE MERCY.
- JESUS CHOOSES NOT TO BE THE ACCUSER OF THE WOMAN; NOR DOES HE CHOOSE TO ACCUSE YOU.
MICAH 6:8
No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
JUSTICE BRINGERS
- WE ARE CALLED TO POINT TO THE LIFE GIVING JUSTICE JESUS GIVES.
- JUSTICE THAT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HE DID, NOT ME.
