Hebrews 7:1-10 (Jesus, The King of righteousness and King of Peace)Heb 7:2b - by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace. Ps 85:9-10 - 9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land. 10 Lovingkindness and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.**1. Why is it so difficult to practice justice?**a. We see justice from our point of view.Judges 21:2525 In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes. b. Our standards keep changing In order to be sure about anything something has to be immutable, unchanging.Isa 40:88 The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever.c. We lack knowledge.Job 38:2-52 "Who is this that darkens counsel By words without knowledge?3 "Now gird up your loins like a man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me!4 "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding, 5 Who set its measurements? Since you know. Or who stretched the line on it?Job 40:1-21 Then the Lord said to Job,2 "Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it." God not only knows all things but knows us intimatelyPs 139:2-42 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thought from afar.3 You scrutinize my path and my lying down, And are intimately acquainted with all my ways. 4 Even before there is a word on my tongue, Behold, O Lord, You know it all.d. We are sinful and we see through sinful eyes. (darkened in understanding)Rom 3:10-1210 as it is written, "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;11 THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;12 ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE."Isa 42:1-41 Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold;My chosen one in whom My soul delights.I have put My Spirit upon Him;He will bring forth justice to the nations.2 "He will not cry out or raise His voice,Nor make His voice heard in the street.3 "A bruised reed He will not breakAnd a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish;He will faithfully bring forth justice.4 "He will not be disheartened or crushedUntil He has established justice in the earth;And the coastlands will wait expectantly for His law."1 Peter 3:1818 For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; 1 Cor 1:22-2422 For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom;23 but we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness. 24 but to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.1 Peter 3:8-98 To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; 9 not returning evil for evil or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing.
