November 19
We’ve all chuckled at the old joke, “You may be richer but my kids are better looking.” It’s our way of laughing at the discrepancies that exist among us and recognizing that though some may be favored in one area, life ‘balances out’ in the final analysis.
As the Word says, “The sun shines on the just and on the unjust. The rain falls on the just and on the unjust” Matthew 5:45. Though we may not always have things as we’d prefer them to be, we must acknowledge that ultimately, God is fair.
The one area of human existence in which the reality of that plays out most significantly is in the spiritual realm. All men need a Savior and Jesus has come to rescue every man who will allow Him to have Lordship of his life from the ravages of sin. It’s not just the smart, the attractive, the wealthy who may come.
People from every nation, kindred and tribe; from every social strata, are invited to Jesus. James 2:5 says, “Didn’t God choose the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom He has promised to those who love Him?” We may not be wealthy, but through Christ all men can become heirs of heaven.
