Not Fair

Published: May 3, 2021, 5 a.m.

Life's not fair. How many times have we all heard that statement? But here's what we don't often realize: it's a good thing life's not fair, because if it was, we would have no hope for God's redemption. The single most unfair act in human history happened when Jesus took our sin to the cross and paid our debt for all eternity. In this life, we may experience inequalities, disparities and injustices we can't necessarily change -- but when we look to Jesus as our example, we can learn to accept those things and then ask God how He can use them for His glory.
