Scales
Every parent probably has had their child scream the accusation, “That’s not fair!” While responses might vary, many parents may say something along the lines of, “Yeah, life’s not fair.”
The Bible doesn’t talk a lot about fairness. For many of us, like children, fair often means “I get what I want.” This immature and self-serving view comes naturally and is mired in bias.
It is an extremely good thing God is not fair and we don’t get our way. Life is unfair because Jesus, who had no sin, took on all our sins for us. We ought to be condemned, but by God’s grace, we are forgiven. That’s not fair.
However, instead of fairness, the Bible talks a lot about justice. God is the Arbiter of justice. He is the Lawmaker, the Attorney, the Judge, and the Jury. To fully meet justice, He paid the price for our sins. He freely gave us a pardon while paying the price Himself.
That’s why grace can be a source of frustration at times because we like the illusion that we are in control. We default to thinking we must earn what we receive. But when it comes to righteousness in God’s sight, we can never measure up. When we are weighed, we are always found wanting.
But thanks be to God! Jesus steps upon the scales along with us. In Him, all requirements are met. We are fully accepted, and we can’t add anything more. In Jesus, we have the righteousness of God.

Fighting for justice is something we applaud. But the power to right wrongs is quite limited for most of us. We must leave justice to God. Trusting God requires that we trust Him to be our Avenger. What will God’s vengeance look like? God will decide. It might look like Him dying in our place. Or theirs.
