LIFE IS NOT FAIR
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Life Is Not Fair
a) The Bible nowhere promises us happiness in this life, but neither does the Bible say that life is fair. If life were fair, then we would all be headed to hell and Jesus would not have had to die. Jesus’ death on the cross was not fair for He was innocent. God placed His wrath on Jesus Who deserved no such punishment and the punishment that we truly deserved was withheld because of what Jesus did for us. He did this for those of us who didn’t deserve anything but eternal separation from God.
b) The work at Calvary by Jesus Christ is a completed work and He did for us what we could not do for ourselves. The moment we place our trust in Jesus Christ is the moment that we have that joy and peace while all fear evaporates.
c) If you have not yet put your trust in Jesus Christ, believe in the Lord today and you can be saved (Romans 10:9-13). Then someday, perhaps soon, you will hear the most wonderful words that you could ever imagine hearing…beyond your happiest moment of existence on earth…when Jesus will say, “Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” (Matthew 25:34). That will be beyond happiness. It will be what we can’t even describe and that “which surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:7).
