Psalm 83 (2)  Season 1 Episode 45

We can not play the role of Judge. Instead, we need God to play our roles for us. The world needs Jesus to play its role for it. 

Dear friends. Have you been mistreated? I am sorry for you. I remembered one time or two I wanted to share with another person, a friend, what happened to me. I would like someone else to know. Maybe simply knowing it will make it better for me. What I have said to my friend, I was actually saying: "Listen. Listen." I needed someone to know. 

The Psalmist laments and calls God to listen. His great comfort is that God is never silent. There is only one ruler in this world and one justifier from eternity to eternity. We all desire he will listen to us. I can not play his role for him by acting out like riots. We can not play his rule as the judge because even we are not capable of making things right. Instead, what we really need is him, God, Jesus, justifier, ruler, to play our role. 

The world needs his righteousness to play its role. The world needs his righteous wrath, not ourselves. His righteous wrath leads to a heavenly kingdom and a new order while ours lead to destruction. We need a new world order. Only through Jesus, there can be a new world. Not a new law, or new war. 

It is the person, Jesus, and what he brings with him, a new kingdom through him and in him.
