Isaiah 16:5 In love a throne will be established; in faithfulness a man will sit on it—one from the house of David—one who in judging seeks justice and speeds the cause of righteousness

The term “judge” describes someone who is expected to hand down a fair and impartial ruling in a given situation.

Now judges don’t always act or behave as expected.

A certain district judge threw a celebration party in the courtroom, complete with ice cream, cake, and balloons when he sentenced a captured fugitive to life in prison

while another district judge compassionately refused to serve eviction notices during Christmas.

Thankfully there is another Judge who we can always trust to deal a righteous and fair sentence.

The judge described is Jesus Christ. Unlike human judges, He is always accessible. He lives to plead our case before the Father.

He is sympathetic and helpful in our struggles. He is on our side when we have been wronged. We can rely on him to always be the same.

Thought for Today: We have been blessed with the perfect Judge, Jesus Christ.
