Minor Prophet:Major Message- Nov 10, 2019
Minor Prophet/Major Message
Speaker: Pastor Patrick Kelley
Originally Recorded: Nov 10, 2019
Micah 6:1-8
Listen to what the Lord says: “Stand up, plead my case before the mountains; let the hills hear what you have to say. “Hear, you mountains, the Lord’s accusation; listen, you everlasting foundations of the earth. For the Lord has a case against his people; he is lodging a charge against Israel. “My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me. I brought you up out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. I sent Moses to lead you, also Aaron and Miriam. My people, remember what Balak king of Moab plotted and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the Lord.” With what shall I come before the Lord and bow down before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
The whole of scripture is about one thing…we fall short, but Jesus' life, death, resurrection and grace fill in the gap for us.
To render to every one their due, superiors, equals, inferiors, to be equal to all, and oppress none, in body, goods or name; in all your dealings with men carry a chancery (a court of equity) in your own beasts, and do according to equity. -John Wesley
Justice is a certain rectitude of mind whereby a man does what he ought to do in the circumstances confronting him. -Thomas Aquinas
Where can we act justly? (That maybe is a struggle)
1. Those who are different from us?
2. Those we don’t necessarily like?
3. Those who have wounded us in the past?
Big Idea:
God is calling us to act justly in all relationships and circumstances.
Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals. -Martin Luther King, Jr.
