In the Bible, when King David slept with Uriah’s wife, God had to punish him for taking the only wife of Uriah, but because David repented, God forgave him and withdrew the cup of suffering that King David was to take according to the prophecy by Prophet Nathan. God is forging and merciful! We are selfish and egocentric sinners. We see ourselves through the lens of mercy and understanding. But he was viewing others through the lens of judgment and a critical eye.
That’s why when it comes to sinners – sick people – they deserve God’s wrath. And we can’t stand it when it looks like sinners maybe getting away with doing bad stuff. We want justice! We want it now!!! When the truth doesn’t come down right away, we think God’s being unfair. But when it comes to good people – we want mercy and understanding. And when justice does show up, we beg for mercy. Because the way we perceive is so medley by sin and self-absorption, only God who is rich in mercy can change us.
