Thank God There's a God.
When Justice at the trial level falls short, for example when Judges at the trial level don't review all the evidence and dismiss someone's credibility even when confirmed by other evidence, one is tempted to throw in the towel and go- Who Cares. To Hell With Them. Life is a Crock. It's a Set Up. There is no such thing as Justice. Take me out Scotty, I am ready to leave earth now. Done Playing. No fun anymore.
It's sometimes just a question of personal like or dislike or what some people call "favor" coupled with power that can bring "judgment." When you know you are 100 percent credible and someone finds you less than that sometimes you have to take it---and sometimes you don't.
Jesus of course was totally deemed not credible by the vast majority of people jeering at him around his trial before Pontius Pilate and Crucifiction. People mistook him for a criminal when he was the Savior. He took it- but should we always? Smaller lesser people will always project their own shortcomings and deceptions upon us- in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary- that is human nature. That's why we have appellate courts some may argue. One trial judge may not see the contradiction in evidence (If Jesus was a devil how could he cure so many people and drive demons out?) some may be asleep at the switch. Sometimes the contradiction in evidence stares one in the face-- and they still don't want to believe it just because they don't like the cut of your jib.
It is comfort to know that there is a final judgment - that God is a Just God, that he sees you when you are sleeping- he sees the wicked for their deceptions and the evil that they do. He sees demons transform themselves into Angels. He sees how people set you up, how they lie to you, and how they use you.
Today we said again in church- forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us-
that does not mean we have to pay people to trespass against us. And we don't have to take it lying down when people judge us wrongly in effort to hurt us.
There is a Redeemer. His name is Jesus the Lord. The Highest Appeals Court in the Land is
called the Judgment Seat, theThrone. It may take us a lifetime to get there and we may have to suffer a million petty indignities before we do, but It's a promise- He Knows Everything.
