CONTRARY | Unfair (Ep 5)

Today there are questions unanswered. There is so much in this world that seems impossible to understand or reconcile in light of who we know God to be, and yet, He is Sovereign. We as humans are highly concerned with what is “right” and “fair” and “just”, and we tend to question God on these things, which is highly ironic, as He is the only right, fair, and just Being that exists. Our perspective is skewed by our humanity, and the more we fix our eyes on Jesus, the less we care about what is fair in our own context, but rather what He had to give up so that we could receive the unfair: eternal life with Him.
