The Bible does not tell us that life in this world will be fair. Evil and sin are not Victorian gentlemen; they do not play fair.

The more clearly we see sins horror, the more we shall treasure the cross.

Sin corrupts even our good deeds. We injure our shoulder trying to pat ourselves on the back.

There is a certain kind of maturity that can be attained only through the discipline of suffering.

Jesus is hungry but feeds others; He grows weary but offers others rest; He is the King Messiah but pays tribute; He is called the devil but casts out demons; He dies the death of a sinner but comes to save His people from their sins; He is sold for thirty pieces of silver but gives His life a ransom for many; He will not turn stones to bread for Himself but gives His own body as bread for people.

It is a cheap zeal that reserves its passions to combat only the sins and temptations of others.

Justice is not always done in this world; we see that everyday. But on the Last Day it will be done for all to see. And no one will be able to complain by saying, "This isn't fair."
