Fairness

Bill Gates, world's richest man, said, “Life is not fair. Get used to it. The average teen-ager uses the phrase 'It's not fair' 8.6 times a day. You got it from your parents, who said it so often you decided they must be the most idealistic generation ever. When they started hearing it from their own kids, they realized Rule Number 1.” “Search the scriptures.” (John 5:39) Search the scriptures, you will not find the word fairness. But, 365 times, in God's word, He tells us not to be afraid.

Think what you will of him, but I happen to agree with this quote by Alex Jones: “The Obama Deception completely destroys the myth that Barack Obama is working for the best interests of the American people. The Obama phenomenon is a hoax carefully crafted by the captains of the New World Order. He is being pushed as savior in an attempt to con the American people into accepting global slavery. We have reached a critical juncture in the New World Order's plans. and only by exposing the con can we help to save freedom in America.”

Sinclaire Lewis, one of America's greatest writers, in 1935, wrote the book It Can't Happen Here in which he described in detail the exact situation in which we find ourselves today in this Obama treason. I predict now as rapidly as this country is being destroyed in just the six months he has been in office, President Obama will be impeached.

History books have been sanitized but history has been sufficiently preserved for us to know that “God is boss.” Only the humble can be taught, and when pride (beginning of every sin) gets too great God has a way of straightening us out. The children of Israel, were within three week's walking distance of the Promised Land but God had them (in basic training) in the wilderness desert for forty years as a lesson to them and to us. Even to this day, the medical caduceus warned by every military medical officer shows a serpent on a pole. In the wilderness, Moses was instructed by God to put a brass serpent on a pole so that those who were “unfairly” bitten by the vipers which invaded the desert would be healed. John the Baptist said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29. Just as in the Passover, He was a “lamb without blemish.” I Peter 1:19 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, Christ told us that if He were lifted up He would “draw all men unto Him.” (John 12:13) Specifying His being lifted up on the cross, and by His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 52)

How we cheat ourselves by not participating in this one act of remembrance at His table. I have actually heard someone who believed in Christ as Savior, baptized in the initial ordnance of the Christian church and had never participated in the recurrent ordinance of the New Testament church to worship at the communion table with the bread and wine, in full atonement of His power of healing and forgiveness. (Isaiah 53) Communion with our Savior; the symbols of His broken body and shed blood, the bread and wine, the most precious act of worship, the joy of Christianity. He did not say anything about how un-often you should do it, but reminded us to do it often. (“this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me” I Corinthians 11:25) When I looked at the painting of the Last Supper in Milan, Italy I thought of the consternation as well as the joy as these twelve, rather insignificant, average men must have experienced. Did they ever realize their place in the history of the world? Moses was held up as an example of faithfulness throughout the New Testament. Christ's last miracle, the restoration of the ear of one of His captures would have astonished many in that act of fairness. God, only to give the signal for the millions of angels who heralded His birth could have rescued His only Son from earth's heathen. When one thinks of fairness, you consider the crucifixion of Christ but you consider the offering of the only son of the world's richest man, Abraham, who having waited almost 100 years for this beloved son, did not offer any excuse for fairness.

We worship a God of justice and so will He deal with us. Individually and as a nation. Is this fairness?

“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not.” I John 3:1
