No Justice Without Jesus!

October 8, 2016

Beloved Union,
This is a hard time to be black, biblically faithful and socially conscious.  Many Christians have allowed their blackness to override the veracity of the Bible.  Unbelievers want justice without Jesus.  However, there is no justice without Jesus.  Unbelievers ignore the greatest injustice ever committed was the crucifixion of Jesus!  This world is a cursed, crooked, and callous place.  To assume that what is wrong in this world will be made completely right on this side of eternity is to misunderstand God’s intention for this world and His intentions in overcoming the curse. This world is passing away and unfortunately, there will others like Terrance Crutcher who is oppressed, mistreated, and subjugated.
Nevertheless, here is the believers’ hope.  Jesus will return and set all things right!  Then paradise lost will be paradise regained!  In the meantime, believers are to live by the words of Micah 6:8, “Mankind, He has told you what is good and what it is the Lord requires of you: to act justly, to love faithfulness, and to walk humbly with your God.”  That is the believers’ requirement.  This is the believers’ reward, “Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”         (2 Peter 3:13)
Sincerely yours and securely His,
Pastor Darryl K. Fields
