Our Risen King

Leviticus 13,14; Acts 17 

“For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead.”

Acts 17:31

There is a day of justice coming when all the injustice and exploitation in this world is judged. While we advocate for and pursue justice now, we recognize the full realization of complete justice waits for the day when God will judge the living and the dead. We, ourselves, are complicit through sin and contribute to this world’s injustice. We, too, are in need of a Savior, a Savior who was sinless and yet died on our behalf to pay the penalty for our sin. God’s judgment of sin was expressed in Christ’s death on the cross. God’s plan to redeem and restore relationship with creation was expressed through raising Christ from the dead. God’s justice toward sin and his sacrificial love toward all he has created are expressed in the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Has this truth changed our life?

“Lord Jesus, you are my judge, my atonement, and my life this day, for your glory.”
