Big Questions Part 5: What Does God Think About Justice? (Malachi 2:17-3:1; Mark 11:1-11,15-17)

"Where is the God of justice?" The question is asked in culture after culture as people face the realities of evil in the world. Sometimes the question can be thrown back at God when we feel challenged by His word regarding our own sin. "Why would God care so much about my sin if He doesn't seem to care about the sin all around me?" God's answer to 'the justice question' may surprise us: "The Lord you seek will suddenly come to His temple." Then, when Jesus comes riding into Jerusalem in fulfillment of this prophecy through Malachi, where does He go? To His temple, His own house. He comes to bring peace; He comes in triumph; and He comes with great purpose. And He's not afraid to turn over tables of idolatry in our lives. So, where is the God of justice? He's very present among His people, and He's ready to build a new culture - in and through us.
