"Justice" Deaf Devo - The Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States - Bible Reading: Revelation 20:11-15
Revelation 20:11 Next I saw a great white throne and the One sitting on it. Earth and heaven fled from his presence, and no place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, both great and small, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened; and another book was opened, the Book of Life; and the dead were judged from what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 13 The sea gave up the dead in it; and Death and Sh’ol gave up the dead in them; and they were judged, each according to what he had done. 14 Then Death and Sh’ol were hurled into the lake of fire. This is the second death — the lake of fire. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was hurled into the lake of fire.

My co-workers and I were talking about a man who was arrested for doing terrible things. Then the man died in jail before his trial started. My co-workers were upset. They felt that the man should have stayed in prison for many years to pay for his crimes.
Things on earth are not always fair. Sometimes people do not receive the punishment we think they deserve. But as Christians, we know that someday God will judge all people who have ever lived. God's justice will be good and fair. Someday Jesus will return and take His followers to live with Him forever. Our Bible verses today tell us that God is righteous and faithful. He is the very best Judge!
We should praise God that our sins are forgiven by Jesus' death. Jesus paid the full price for our sins when He died on the cross. Thank God today for His justice and forgiveness.
"But if we confess our sins, God will forgive us. We can trust God to do this. He always does what is right. He will make us clean from all the wrong things we have done."
[1 John 1:9]
PRAYER: I praise You, God. Your justice is righteous and fair. Thank You for forgiveness through Jesus. In His name. Amen.
