The World Needs a Stable Influence

We need a Righteous Judge

Judges 19:30

 

O little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by

Yet in thy dark streets shineth

The everlasting Light

The hopes and fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight

 

“Sin will take you fartherthan you want to go, keep you longerthan you want to stay, and costyou more than you want to pay.”

 

How do you live in a Broken World?

 

#1 Sit in the silence of stunned shock

               “Think about it!”

 

                There is absolutely, absoluteright and wrong.

 

#2 Cry out forJustice

               “What are we going to do?”  (See Romans 12:19, Deuteronomy 32:35, Romans 13:4, 1 Peter 4:17, Romans 3:10-12)

        

              Justice is needed; so begin with yourself.

#3 Stand with the Righteous Judge

             “Who’s going to speak up?" (See John 5:22,28-29)

 

              God knew you would need a Savior. That’s why He defeated death and sent Jesus.

 

God knew you would need a Righteous Judge. That’s why He sent Jesus to judge sin rightly—and make you right.
