“Christ Came to Justify, And Not To Render Justice…”

Servant of God Madeleine Delbrel continues to rock my spiritual world. I’ve written previously about her here.

I saw this in the September issue of Magnificat – taken from the 9/2 “Meditation of the Day” –

Preach the Gospel – the Good News of the Kingdom of God and not that of a better world. We cannot let ourselves forget that salvation is a one way street: it can only come from God through Christ.

In other words, Jesus ain’t a Social Justice Warrior. He came to save souls, not be a poster boy for a Wrong That Must Be Righted cause du jour. Even some of the disciples thought that Jesus had come to kick out the Romans – no, He had come to save them.

“Christ came to justify, and not to render justice…” – that was His first coming. His second coming?

Divine Justice, 24/7.
