The human race has made a fine art out of judging the faults and foibles of others, while at the same time overlooking and excusing our own. And technology has made it easier than ever to condemn another without suffering any accountability on our own part. "Oh, that the world would just conform to my standard, what a glorious place it would be!" Sarcasm aside, it is the nature of people of all times and places to point out the shortcomings, sins, and slip-ups of others, and pass judgment on what would be appropriate punishment. All the while, of course, ignoring our own screw-ups and scandals. What if we each got what we deserved? We might decide that that the idea of justice, in general, was overrated.
What if we each got what we deserved from God? What if we were each judged according to God's perfect standard of generosity, forgiveness, and compassion? And not just for what we did - or didn't - do, but for what we felt in our hearts and thought in our minds?
