Guilt & Grace
The Gospel of John
May 15, 2022

The non-stop clamor for justice from every corner of society, every country around the world, dominates the headlines of news sources every day.
 
According to vocabulary.com “Justice is the quality of being just or fair. Super heroes fight for justice because they want everything to be fair and not let the bad guys win. Just ask Wonder Woman, Superman, or any other member of the Justice League.”
 
But we all know that life isn’t fair. We live in a broken world, with broken people. And yet, as humans, uniquely designed as image bearers of a justice-loving God, our hearts yearn for justice. We long for right to triumph over wrong, especially when we are the ones whose well-being is in question.
 
Pastor Chuck Swindoll says this about Jesus’ experience with justice: Jesus was the only person to live His entire life without failing morally, yet He was arrested, tried, convicted, and condemned to suffer a criminal’s punishment. His arrest was a betrayal, His trials a farce, His conviction illegal, and His punishment a travesty of justice.”
 
Imagine enduring this kind of injustice. How would you respond?

I encourage you to join us this Sunday as we take a look at the way Jesus responded to the injustice He experienced at the hands of His friends, the spiritual leaders of His country, and the government under which He lived.
 
What can we learn from the way Jesus faced injustice? What lessons are there for us in His example?
 
Growing in our relationship with Jesus, to better align our lives with the heart of Jesus, and increasingly become more like Jesus is our highest priority at Dayspring. We invite you to join us in the journey!
