Grace for your spirit
Then David's anger burned greatly against the man, and he said to Nathan, "As the Lord lives, surely the man who has done this deserves to die. II Samuel 12:5
Nathan the prophet came to King David with a parable. David thought it was a real story about a sheep thief, when in fact it was a story about a man who stole another's wife, and then had the husband killed. David was that man. He was so blind and clueless, he didn't realize the story was a picture of his own life. The death sentence seemed right to him until he realized he was the man. If someone made up a parable about our lives and came to us for an opinion, would we demand justice and vengeance? Before we set ourselves up as judges on the sinners in the world, we need to look at our lives in the mirror. Jesus told us to be careful when we make a judgment. The same standard may come home to haunt us.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
