"Evidence That God’s Judgement is Right"

Habakkuk 1:2-4 & 2nd Thess. 1:2-6 

On this Sunday, the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted, the question Habakkuk asks of the Lord is certainly one that every suffering saint can ask; “Why do you make me look at injustice? And if we only go by what we can see, like Habakkuk, we would draw the same conclusion he draws; “The law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails.”

However, when the Apostle Paul writes to the Thessalonian believers, the scripture declares that God’s judgment is right  He says that there is evidence that God’s judgement is right. What is the evidence? Where is it seen? Why is God’s judgement right?  These are the questions this sermon answers. And we will see that the message the gospel of Jesus Christ gives us reason to have hope in suffering, encouragement to persevere courageously in the face of persecution, and why it is right to stand with those who are being persecuted, knowing that there is evidence that God’s judgement is right.
