Two out of Three People Are Treated Unfairly

samuel kee —  January 21, 2013 — 1 Comment

13188Studies show that God treats two out of three people unfairly.  It’s true and I can prove it.  Before I do, ask yourself if you think you’re being treated unfairly or not.  Then ask yourself if you’d like God to treat you more fairly.

The support for my claim comes from a study of Luke 23 in the Bible.  In verses 39-43, we read about three people, two of which are treated unfairly.  It’s not subtle, either, but a very blatant, unfair treatment. 

 

Person #1 Is Treated Unfairly

The first person who’s treated unfairly is Jesus, God’s own Son.  The second criminal recognizes this.  Jesus has done nothing wrong (Luke 23:41), yet he’s getting the same sentence of condemnation as those who were criminals (40).  The criminals deserved their punishment, but not Jesus.  Yet he was given the same punishment as the two common criminals.  That’s not fair.  In fact, Jesus’ punishment was infinitely worse than that of the criminals’.  Though a saint, Jesus was punished as a sinner.  Second Corinthians 5:21 says, “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that we might become the righteousness of God.”  God the Father made God the Son to be sin, even though God the Son had never sinned.  The Father punished his Son as if he were a sinner, so that we might be treated as righteous saints.

Or again, “Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him [Jesus]” (Isaiah 53:10).  The Father’s will for Jesus’ life was for it to be crushed, even though he did nothing to deserve it.  Again, “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.”

God treated Jesus unfairly by rewarding his perfect obedience with punishment.  Why did he do this?  “He was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.”  God punished Jesus so that we could go unpunished.  God punished Jesus so that we could be healed. 

Person #2 Is Treated Unfairly

The second person who was treated unfairly was the second criminal.  In Luke 23:39-43, we learn that there were two criminals who were crucified next to Jesus.  The first mocked Jesus; but the second expressed devotion to Jesus.  He said to Jesus, not even expecting a response, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom” (42).  The second criminal knew that he didn’t have the slightest chance of getting into Paradise when he died.  If Adam and Eve were kicked out of Paradise for just a single act of disobedience (see Genesis 3), then what chance did this criminal have, who had lived a lifetime of disobedience?  He did not have what it took to enter into Paradise; but, at least he could ask Jesus to remember him when he got there.

In his request, the second criminal reveals his heart’s openness to Jesus.  He recognized that Jesus was a perfect person, having never done anything wrong.  He also recognized that Jesus was a King, for only kings possess kingdoms.  This criminal’s heart was open to Jesus’ rule, if even for these last moments of his life.

Jesus, dying of asphyxiation, did not owe him a response, either.  He barely had enough breath for himself, let alone for some run-of-the-mill thief.  Can you imagine, were you the second criminal, suddenly hearing the raspy voice of Jesus, respond to you and say, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise” (43)?

Today?  Today?  That day was the worst day of the second criminal’s life—it also happened to be his last day!  On what had been the worst day of his life, he would experience the best day of his life?  By the end of that day, a common, dirty criminal would be walking hand-in-hand with Jesus into Paradise.  That’s not fair, either—that’s grace.

God did not treat the second fairly by forgiving his sins and allowing him passage into Paradise.

Person #3 Is Treated Fairly

Finally, by now you’re wondering who it is that God treated fairly.  God did not treat Jesus fairly by punishing him; nor did he treat the second criminal fairly by giving him Paradise.  There is a character, however, in these verses, whom God treats fairly.

God treated the first criminal fairly.  In those days, some criminals were punished by crucifixion, which was the “just reward” for certain crimes.  The first criminal was getting exactly what he deserved, and he knew it.  This criminal had lived a life of sin and was receiving his due punishment. 

Romans 6:23 puts it this way, “For the wages of sin is death.”  The “wage” that a sin earns is death.  At then end of a day of sin-work, our just wage is death (thankfully we don’t get paid bimonthly!).  Human sin, which corrupts the world, needs to be dealt with, in order to maintain order and goodness.  If it’s not dealt with, then the goodness of God’s creation is bankrupt.  Just like we’d never allow someone to steal large sums of money from our bank account without dealing with it, so could God never allow sinners to rob the created order of its perfection.  Our good God must maintain the goodness of his world.   

The first criminal not only gets what he deserves, but also he closes himself off to God’s solution.  He is in the presence of the solution for his sins, and he closes his heart to it.  There’s an organization that I work with who ships boxes of food to starving children all over the world.  They recognize that each day, 18,000 children die from starvation.  Out of these 18,000 kids, 40% of them are from India.  However, none of their shipments of food go to India.  Why?  Because the leaders of India (who are not starving), don’t want the charity.  They tell this organization that they don’t have a problem and that their food is not the kind that they want.  All the while thousands of children die each day in India from lack of food; yet the food is at their doorstep.

The first criminal is in the presence of a feast, yet he closes himself off to it.  He doesn’t want Jesus’ charity; he doesn’t think that there’s a problem.  Yet he’s about to die and be cut off from the source of Life for all eternity.  And if you close your heart off to God now, it will remain that way forever, long after your body passes away. 

You’re soul is hungry, admit it.  Will you close yourself off to Jesus and remain separated from God forever?  Or will you turn to him and trust, allowing his dying love for you to melt your heart.  “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in Paradise!”  Romans 6:23 ends like this, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” 

Eternal life is not a “fair” gift, but a free one.  Our lives can never “earn” this gift, but it must be given to us at the cost of Another.  Jesus Christ was unfairly punished in order to pay for our free gift, which is given unfairly to those who make him their King, not to those who close themselves off to him.

Are you sure you want God to treat you fairly?

That Thing You Need

samuel kee —  November 8, 2012 — Leave a comment

Justin Holcomb has a good definition of “grace.”  He calls it “one-way love.”  That’s powerful.  Which of my readers needs some one-way love right now?  You don’t have anything to give in return, but you need to have some love anyway.  You’ve blown it; and you need some one-way love.  You don’t deserve it.  You can never repay it.  You can only receive it.  That’s one-way love.  It’s love that comes from God to us.  It’s love that does not go in reverse or change directions.  It’s never reciprocated.  It only flows one-way, from God to you.  In fact, if you could ever repay it, then it would not be grace.  If you ever deserved it, it would not be grace.  If you were ever good enough for it, it would not be grace.  If you were not wounded, it would not be grace.

Grace is the antidote to our disgrace and the fountain of our healing.  It’s the only thing that can restore us, mend us, fulfill us.  Broken people cannot love, yet we are desperate for love.  Our only solution is one-way love: love that finds us at the bottom, not the top.

John 3:16 Day

samuel kee —  March 16, 2012 — Leave a comment

God chose to sacrifice his Son Jesus rather than sacrifice the world.

Star Wars fans have May the 4th day.  Pot heads have cannabis day on April 20th.  God might as well have 3-16 day, as in John 3:16, the most famous of the Christian Scriptures.  Here it is: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”

This verse gives us some astounding distinctions of the Christian faith.  First, Christianity puts “acceptance” before “works.”  In other world religions and in society in general, it’s the other way around.  We’re swimming in a culture that puts works before acceptance.  If you do the right things, you’ll get the right rewards.  That’s the gist.  Be a good student, get a good grade.  Be a good worker, get good pay.  Be a good athlete, get a starting position.  Have the right looks, get the affirmation.  Have the right friends, get the attention.  Keep the right commandments, get salvation.  That’s how it typically works in both the world and religion.  The way of Jesus, however, thunders onto the scene, flipping our comfortable system on its head.  Jesus puts acceptance before works, smashing our efforts with his grace.  God gives us acceptance first and only then does he tell us how to follow him (works).  Good works are not the requirement for his acceptance; good works are what we can do to draw nearer to the wonderful God who first accepted us.   

Second, God’s stance toward you is love.  He is not angry and unloving toward you.  He is love toward you; he is “good” toward you.  Until you know that God is good toward you, then you won’t approach him.  Let’s say that in the other room there was either a hungry lion or a pot of gold.  Before you opened the door, you would need to know which one it was.  If it was a hungry lion, you would not go in.  But if it were a pot of gold, then you would go in.  God is not a hungry lion, God is a pot of gold.  In Jesus Christ, there’s a storehouse full of treasure, waiting for you.  God is love toward you.  He wants to have a relationship with you.  He wants you to know how deeply he loves you.  He doesn’t want your good works, he wants you.  He doesn’t want to know what you can do for him; he wants you to know what he has done (and can do) for you. 

Third, he defines the word “love” for us.  The best definition of love comes from God, who gave his only Son in order to save his enemies.  Love is sacrifice, in other words.  God does not make the world pay for its sins, he made his Son pay for the world’s sins.  God chose to sacrifice his Son Jesus rather than sacrifice the world. 

Fourth, God’s grace is offensive.  Can you believe that God would let sinners off the hook?  He does.  What if a serial killer, at the end of his life, turned to God in faith and received his gift of salvation.  Would God forgive him?  Yes, though we might not forgive him, God would.  To be frank, that’s offensive to us.  We demand that people pay for their wrongs, but God demanded that his Son Jesus pay for our wrongs.  We can’t fathom loving like God loves.  God so loved the world that he gave his perfect Son for sinners, so that the world might not be destroyed.  Our sense of justice, which is not a bad thing, wants sinners to be destroyed.  Out of love for you, he doesn’t destroy you, but destroys his Son instead.  Jesus got justice; we got grace.  No matter what you do, God will love you; in other words, there is no sin that causes him to walk out the door.

Fifth, our faith glues us to God’s gift of grace.  Our good works don’t give us God’s grace, our faith does.  To “believe,” as the verse says, means to point your life toward God and head his direction.  God becomes the new goal of your life.  You no longer operate according to works-before-acceptance.  Instead, you operate out of acceptance-before-works, and that makes all the difference in the world.  You let God save you and you trust him to do so.  You stop killing yourself to gain acceptance in this world, and trust that the acceptance that God has for you in Jesus is all that you’ll ever need.

To believe is to set your course on “eternal life.”  All trials end in triumph.  All suffering ends in salvation.  Life will not overcome you, but you will overcome death.  The one who believes, walks boldly toward the eternal city of God.

Love Slave

samuel kee —  February 2, 2012 — Leave a comment

If you accept God's grace, you do a dangerous thing.

I would rather serve you than be loved by you.  Here’s what I mean: service is cheap, but love is costly.  Service is controllable, but love is controlling.  I can go home after a day of service, but I can never be free from love.  It follows me, haunts me, and enslaves me.

Don’t believe me?  Then imagine two different scenarios.  In the first, I am your boss and you are my employee.  You work for me and I pay you.  If you work well, then I reward you accordingly.  If you need some time off, then I give you some time off.  When you’re at work, you work.  When you leave work, you leave work.  You can rest and not think about me.  In just 8 or 9 hours, you can fulfill all of your duties to me and I will be satisfied, and so will you.

Now imagine a second scenario.  You contract some horrible disease and the only way to be cured is through a certain type of human blood.  As it turns out, my son has just the right kind of blood that you need; and for you to have the right amount, his life must be terminated.  I look at you in love, and then decide to give the life of my son for you, so that you can live.  Though my son dies, you live.  How do you feel about our relationship, after such a costly display of love?

You have to live for the rest of your life, day by day, knowing how much I have loved you.  When you wake up, it’s because of me.  When you eat a meal, it’s because of me.  When you go to work, it’s because of me.  When you go on vacation, it’s because of me.  Everything you do is shrouded by the act of love that I performed on your behalf.  Without me and my love for you, you’d be nothing.

Service is fair; love enslaves.  Love demands everything.  True love shown to another enslaves the “victim.”  You no longer belong to yourself, but to the one whose love has freed you and given you new life.

God does not want our service, that is why he gave you his.  You cannot simply work for God as an employee, for he wants far more than 8 or 9 hours.  He wants everything.  That’s why he saves you by grace, through a gift of love, the death of his Son.  God put to death his Son beneath the legal record of charges written against you.  Jesus took your punishment; and now God wants to take you by his grace.

If you accept God’s grace, you do a dangerous thing.  It’s not cheap, by any means.  Not only did it cost God the life of his Son, but also it will cost you your freedom.  You’ll become a love slave, just like the apostle Paul, who identified himself like this:

Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle (Romans 1:1).

Becoming a Christian sets you free from sin and its eternal consequences, but it does not set you free from God.  I think too often Christians think that being saved by grace means being saved from God.  That’s not it at all.  You are actually saved for God.

And for the rest of your life, you’ll live with the knowledge that the Creator of the cosmos has given everything in order to be with you and love you.

Of course, that’s not a bad thing; it’s a love thing.

Where Is Your Hope?

samuel kee —  September 6, 2011 — Leave a comment

Mike Picha

(The following post was written by a guest blogger and friend of mine, Mike Picha.  Mike is the Chief Financial Officer at Trinity International University, click here to learn more.  You will be blessed by his insights in this post!)

I love it when a passage of Scripture hits you between the eyes in a new and exciting way.  We all need reminders from time to time that God is present in our lives through the Holy Spirit.  My small group is studying Colossians this fall – and perhaps this spring as well at the pace we are going!  I see now that this pace may actually be helping me ‘get it’ in ways I had not before.

The first 20 verses of Colossians 1 conclude with the wonderful reminder that we are reconciled to God by the work of Christ on the cross.  But for perhaps the first time in my life, I read verse 21 with a different emphasis.  “Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior.” (NIV)  This verse has always produced guilt and anxiety for me, because if I were honest, I still feel full of evil behavior.  Therefore, according to verse 21, I still must be alienated from God.  I had truly missed the point.  I was indeed no longer alienated – not because my behavior was acceptable to God, but because of what Christ did to reconcile me on the cross.  In other words, it’s not that my evil behavior is gone, making me un-alienated from God; rather, the cross is present, overcoming my evil behavior so that it no longer keeps me from God.

I know there are many who will read that and immediately want to blow the holy whistle for a ‘foul’ being committed.  This realization should not cause us to get lazy in our faith or not care about the sin in our lives.  More and more we should reflect Christ in the way we act, think, and speak, and evidences of this fruit should appear.  But I will never act, think or speak in a way that is good enough to reconcile me to God.  I am presented holy in God’s sight only by Christ’s physical death on the cross (v.22).  This is a good reminder for me each and every day as I work out my salvation with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12).  But this is where the passage in Colossians really gets interesting!

I am reconciled, presented as “holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation” – cool!  But there is an “if” in verse 23.  What?!!  I thought I had nothing to do with it.  All these amazing gifts are indeed mine, “if you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope held out in the gospel.” (v.23)  ‘Continuing in my faith’ made some sense – just keep believing.  ‘Established and firm’ didn’t really strike a chord either, but established and firm in what?  Hope.  Not the kind of hope that one day things will be a different way.  Not a hope that my property taxes would actually go down (that is called folly!).  Not even a hope that one day my sin would be so negligible that I would be reconciled to God.  But a hope that is held out in the gospel.

My first thoughts were: ‘of course that is what my hope is in’.  But is it?  There are many times in my life when I have this deep sense of a spiritual ‘okay-ness’.  I am trusting God that, despite my failures in the past, present and future, He is in control of my destiny.  Sadly though, in actuality I hope in other things more than I care to admit, and this is the core challenge for me in these verses.  We all know that it does not matter what the other ‘thing’ is – good or bad, healthy or unhealthy, etc. – if I am hoping in anything other than God and His grace, I am missing it.  If I abuse alcohol, take drugs, view pornography, gamble, or perform any other sin we would call ‘icky’ to help me get through this difficult thing called life, we would all quickly agree that I had missed the mark.  But when I hope in my wife for an organized house, the stock market for financial security, great friends who will understand me, children to obey me, work to fulfill me, others on the highway to get out of my way, greasy food or sweets to comfort me, and so on and so on, I have also missed the mark.  Hope in ANYTHING this world can provide – good or bad – that takes the place of God is missing the mark.  We all do this sometimes.  But when we are given over to hope in these things instead of hoping in the gospel (God), then we should sound the alarm (or blow the holy whistle) because we are not adequately fulfilling the “if” clause in verse 23.

Healthy tensions are good.  This is not intended to be a discourse on the theology of whether a believer can lose his or her salvation.  On the other hand, hoping in the gospel is all about salvation in Christ and away from our long list of substitutes.  If we are not freed from something, how can we be free to hope in something (or Someone) else?  May God grant us all the strength we need today to hope in Him for everything.

Everything!

Jesus sees opportunities, not liabilities.

Have you heard of the hermeneutic of love?  The word “hermeneutic” has to do with how you interpret things, like texts or events.  A hermeneutic is the glasses you wear, how you see life.  If you have glasses with green lenses, then, obviously, you would see everything in green.  If you have a disability, then you might “see” life through the eyes of that disability (or ability, for that matter).

Jesus had a hermeneutic of love.  He saw life through lenses of love.  Yes, he saw broken and ritually unclean people, but he also saw opportunities to love, no matter the cost to his reputation.  Jesus is willing to break all the religious and social taboos in order to touch a leper, a corpse, or a bleeding woman, for instance.  His hermeneutic of love drives him to alleviate suffering, even when it’s not socially convenient, advisable, or permissible to do so.

Way before he wants to see religion in place, he’d rather see suffering erased.  He cares less about how bad you are and more about how good he can make you.  Jesus sees opportunities, not liabilities.

In other words, God looks at us through eyes of love.  Jesus is the hermeneutic of God, just as love is the hermeneutic of Jesus.  God does not dwell on our faults, but he dwells on ways to draw us to himself.

Hole in Your TV

samuel kee —  April 5, 2011 — 1 Comment

The forgiver agrees to pay for the mistakes of another.Let’s say I was skateboarding inside of your home and upon trying some fancy-shmancy trick, my board popped out from under my feet and hit your new flat screen television, putting a lethal hole in it.  I know I’m not off to a good start with this, but hear me out.  Now let’s say that you decide to forgive me.  Whew!  That’s a relief.  I’ll go ahead and say that I’m “sorry” too.

Are we good?

Probably not.  I might be tempted to think that my measly “I’m sorry” makes things all better, but it doesn’t really.  Why?  I might be off the hook, but there’s still a hole in your TV!  And somebody has to pay for it.  As Tim Keller writes in his book The Reason for God, “It just doesn’t go away.”

I want to point something out in the word forgive…ready?  Here goes: forGIVE.  Did you catch it?  Let me try it again: forGIVE.  Did you see it that time?  We must not fail to see the word “give” in forgive.  This means that forgiveness is a gift that is given at the cost of the giver.  The giver is the one who has to pay for the TV.  The forgiven is the one who is given the gift.

This means that forgiveness is costly, never easy, and never just semantics.  Forgiveness is nothing to be frivolous with, either: it’s nothing to joke around about.  When you forgive me for putting a hole in your television, what you are really saying is, “I choose to pay for your mistakes and to absorb the damage that you have done; it will cost you nothing and I will pay for everything.”  The forgiver agrees to pay for the mistakes of another.

The one who says, “I’m sorry” must realize that someone else is about to absorb the cost of his or her mistake.  Saying “I’m sorry” must not be trifled with, either.  The one who forgives is not being fair with the one who is sorry; for fairness would make the wrongdoer pay for his mistakes.  The one who forgives is not being fair, but being gracious.

Grace is the gift that forgiveness gives, all the while absorbing the costs.

When I ask God to forGIVE me, I am asking God to give me the gift of grace and to pay for the hole I put in his television.  I’m asking God to absorb the wrongs that I have done in his house and at his expense.

We’ve done far more than just put a hole in a television; our mistakes are lethal, causing destruction and death at every level in our world.  We’ve ruined it all; and when we ask God to forgive us, we’re asking him to fix it all at his expense.

God answers our request by paying for our sins with the life of his Son Jesus, whom he offered on the cross for our sins.  That’s what God gives-for us to forgive us.

Actually, God forgives us long before we ask him to, which displays his ongoing heart of restoration and love for his creation.  He loves us and love is the basis for his forgiveness.  Even though it costs him dearly, he is willing to pay for the ones he loves dearly.

To be forgiven is to be paid for and therefore set free from the debt that we owe.  We owe God nothing since he paid for everything.  We are no longer chained to our mistakes, since Jesus has set us free from them.

We are under the rule of grace, though we are prone to forget.

Caught in the Act

samuel kee —  April 1, 2011 — Leave a comment

She was tender and completely vulnerable.

The woman was caught in the act of having sex with a man who was not her fiancé.  There were at least two credible witnesses who found the couple lying in bed.  These two witnesses brought the woman before the authorities.  Now she was standing before a crowd of men with rocks in their hands.

She was fresh from her passionate affair.  She was tender and completely vulnerable.  The men were religious zealots, eager to enforce the religious law of the time.  They had stones in their hands; she had nothing to hold on to.  They felt good about their morality; she felt disgusting.  They were openly prideful; she was publically shamed.

Like many of the Middle East cultures, women were thought to be the instigators when it came to sexual impurity.  After all, if they weren’t so attractive, men wouldn’t fall into temptation!  Men were “off the hook” usually and women were to blame.  This was the case in the present story: while the woman was surrounded by those ready to kill her, her male partner was nowhere to be found.  He was not held accountable for his part in the affair.

She was just one breath away from death.  She was not facing minor troubles, but serious consequences for her act of passion.  Surrounded by men who were ready to kill her, as the law required, she realized just how awful she was.

Just when they were about to stone her, the religious authorities who were condemning her decided to bring in a wildly popular rabbi of the time.  They explained to this famous rabbi that this woman was “caught in the act” of having sex with a man who was not her fiancé.  They were even able to produce two credible witnesses, who both saw the “crime” happen.  On the basis of their law, this woman deserved immediate death.

The woman really started to tremble now; surely this rabbi, who knew the law better than anyone, would uphold the law?  She never dreamed that he would have mercy on her.

Jesus knew the law better than anyone else.  But Jesus also knew the heart of the law, which spoke of restoration and transformation, as much as it did of judgment.  Jesus knew that those who caught someone in sin were responsible first for caring enough to help the person out, unlike these heartless executioners surrounding the woman.  They didn’t give a rip about this woman.  They just wanted to use her as a disposable tool in order to get to Jesus.

They wanted to know if Jesus would uphold mercy or the law.  It was a trap, as John describes in John 8.  Their only concern was to see what kind of a rabbi Jesus really was; and they were willing to kill a human soul in the process.

In case you’re wondering, Jesus was as equally disgusted by religious hypocrites as we are.

With astonishing and simple force, Jesus said to the angry mob, “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her” (8:7).  Jesus found a way both to uphold the law and grant forgiveness.

When all of her accusers left, Jesus turned to the woman and asked, “Woman, where are they?  Has no one condemned you?”

“No one, sir,” she said.

“Then neither do I condemn you…go now and leave your life of sin.”[1]

In that moment, the woman who was just a moment away from death was set free.  In a sense, she went from death to life.  Very graphically, we can feel her go from condemnation to freedom.  Jesus set her free.

And Jesus invites us to identify with the woman who was caught in the act.  All of us have been caught in the act of sin and all of us are just a breath away from destruction.

But Jesus is a God who believes in forgiveness and transformation.  He not only forgives us of our sin, but also he sets us free of it.  We go from death to life when we’re confronted by Rabbi Jesus, who cares more for our life than for our death.

The woman was caught in the act of passionate love.  This act of passionate love would change everything about her life.  This passionate act of love that I’m referring to was lavished upon her by Jesus when he set her free.

Yes, love is stronger than sin.

[1] John 8:10-11.
