In a recent interview the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, declared, ‘one of the core principles in our system is that everybody is equal under the law and nobody is above the law’. This means that regardless of your status in society the law applies to you and no one is at liberty to disregard it. The problem, of course, is that some people do see them themselves as being above the law. They hope that the power and influence they yield will make them immune from accountability; and, sadly, many do get away with crimes for which they should be held to account.

But we need not despair. On all these counts the Bible has good news. Firstly, St Paul tells us that ‘all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God’. We are all under God’s law and we have all broken it. Secondly, no one gets away with anything, the writer of the Book of Hebrews telling us that we die once and after that comes judgement. Thirdly, and most importantly, in Jesus we have a Saviour who on the cross paid the price for all our sins. In him we find forgiveness, freedom and eternal life.
