“…and
he (Christ) shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the
hearing of his ears. But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and
reprove with equity for the meek of the earth…” Isa 11:3-4
Our Lord is not persuaded
by what He sees or what He hears. Man’s
intention can be misleading and destructive in its course; shaped and motivated
by desire, lust and greed. Often the
motives are disguised as though the right intention is seen or is heard as
being sincere in nature, yet administered with alterative motives. God will judge with righteousness with moral
clarity of the heart. How we long for fair treatment from others, but do we
give it? We hate those who base their judgments on appearance, false evidence,
or hearsay, but are we quick to judge others using those standards? Only Christ
can be the perfectly fair judge. Only as he governs our hearts can we learn to
be as fair in our treatment of others as we expect others to be toward us. We must desire what is right when it comes to
others, be it in our favour or not. Don’t
let your desire for righteousness be marred by what is convenient, profitable
or desiring, but simply what is morally right before God.
“The moral law
of God is the tune we are to play; our actions are simply the keys.”
