Will not the judge ring all the earth
do right?
Answers
Answer:
Pippa and I enjoy doing crosswords together. When we are stuck on one clue we don’t give up, we move on to the next clue. Every time we find an answer it helps us in resolving some of the other clues. In the end, we are sometimes able to solve most of the puzzle (although rarely all of it!)
In a way, reading some of the difficult parts of the Bible is like trying to solve a crossword puzzle. Rather than getting bogged down in a tricky section, you can use the passages you do understand to help you resolve some of the more difficult ones.
Often I find it hard not only to understand some of the difficult passages in the Bible, but also to understand why certain things are happening in our world. There seems to be so much injustice. There are no easy answers.
I love the second great rhetorical question from yesterday’s passage, ‘Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?’ (Genesis 18:25).
One thing that you can be sure about is that on the last day, when it is all revealed, you will see God’s perfect judgment – and everyone will say, ‘That is absolutely right.’ God has all eternity to put things right. In the meantime, we wrestle with many other clues we cannot yet solve. Each of today’s passages tells us something about the fact that, in the end, the Judge of all the earth will do right.
