Sermon Short: Justice to Victory

BiblePicture

Until he brings justice to victory; and in his name the Gentiles will hope.
– Matthew 12:20b-21 (ESV)

When Jesus returns he will usher in a new day where justice reigns.  Not an enforced justice that would require constant fighting, but justice that will flow from each redeemed heart, so that all the world is filled with justice.

A world where there is no more injustice, no more oppression, no more abuse, no more mistreatment, and no more victims. But rather love towards each other, joy in one another, peace towards each other. A world where patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control towards all is an everyday continuous reality.

He will bring justice to victory.

No matter what injustice we may face today, we have a great hope for the future!

God has been allowing crimes and injustices and blasphemies and abominations for so long, and he has been tolerating such lies and calumnies to be spoken about him all these years. Revelation 6 promises that one day the wrath will begin to fall. The debt finally comes due. Justice will be done. The wicked will give account. The righteous will be avenged. God will be glorified in his justice.

– James M. Hamilton, Jr. on Revelation 6 in Revelation (PTW)
