Two Irreconciliable Side

In this world, every legitimate nation has a set of laws by which the citizens thereof are governed, so that there is no room left for lawlessness.  law breakers face the same law they had disregarded.  Law keepers often go unrecognized because the enforcer is out to stop and arrest the law breaker, both to fulfill his duty and to prove his competence and perfomance in his profession.  It is naturally easy to know who is breaking the law than it is to know who are keeping it, even when the offender is one among a thousand.  You look for the offender to punish rather than restore, but the Lord looks for the lawkeeper to reward.  The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and His ears attentive to their cry. Their prayer find audience before Him, and they are the foremost agenda in His working.

God had told Adam not to eat from the tree of knowledge.  Before then, the family was innocent, only trusting and obeying.  They were naked and not ashamed.  When they crossed the boundaries and took what was forbiden, they came to know what was good and what was bad, of course from a negative source.  This is the origin of our faulty assessments and evaluations of other peoples conducts.  We are often judgemental, always accusing,always castigating, always blaming and pointing fingers at others.  We see the speck in other people's eyes, when in our own eyes there is a plank.  You remember the guys who brought a woman caught in adultery to Jesus?  They thought He would join the club and blow the whistle for then.  But lo!, they found a different man, and went home looking at themselves rather than the woman.  They all left, and left Jesus with the lady.  They planned to kill her, but it turned out that they were connecting her with eternity.  See how the two sides are far apart; condemnation and compassion!  Because of our attitudes, we are of the side that has foes and friends, but Jesus died for all men.  Our physical attitudes  mostly lead us to our pals and acquitances, but Jesus is interested in the sinner to make him a saint.  He looks for the hopeless, the lost and the weary.
You can see, why in John2 He could not want any man's testimony about the other man, and why He did not entrust himself to any man, because He knew all men and knew what was in a man.  Today they want to make Him king by force, because they have eaten bread and fish by His miracle, tomorrow they want to stone Him because He says He is God, the other day they put palm branches for Him, calling Him blessed, then sometimes later they shout, Crucify Him.

Help us Lord.
