“Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever.” [Isaiah 9:7 NKJV]
One last thought this week on the government of Christ Jesus, and that is, Christ’s government will be eternally established with judgment and justice.
How often we hear the complaints about the inequity/unfairness of government. We hear the lament that there is no justice. In our nation, we claim that “justice is blind,” meaning impartial. We have all seen images of Lady Justice blindfolded and holding a balance scale and a sword. Unfortunately, justice is as imperfect as the people who have the authority of it. I think Lady Justice often peaks out from behind her blindfold. She is very cognizant of wealth, social status, race and other factors.
That will not be so when the perfect Christ, the King of Kings, Prince of Peace, Savior, Lord bears the responsibility for government. In that kingdom to come, judgment and justice will be established forever. Everything will be done in holiness and truth and none of His subjects will ever have cause to complain.
Ps 9:7-8: “The LORD reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. He will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with justice.” [NIV]
Praise Your Holy Name. Amen & Amen.
