Everyone has probably often heard that there is still justice in the world, that the evil a person has done comes back to him, and other sayings of that sort, which perhaps help a person come to terms with the injustice taking place in the world. And yet...
Everyone has probably often heard that there is still justice in the world, that the evil a person has done comes back to him, and other sayings of that sort, which perhaps help a person come to terms with the injustice taking place in the world. And yet one hears even more often that there is no justice in the world, that troubles often fall on the heads of those who do not deserve them at all, while those who have fully deserved them by their deeds, on the contrary, prosper.
So who is right? After all, both sides, pointing to certain concrete cases, could offer plenty of evidence for their own correctness. But what if both those who think there is justice in the world and those who think there is none are right? Or, more precisely, what if both are wrong? Perhaps concepts such as justice and retribution for sin or righteousness do not apply at all to what happens in our world. One person violates God's will, and disaster falls on the whole people. Of course, that one person is the ruler of the people, its head, and yet... For then it turns out that human life is nothing in God's eyes, that collective punishment for the guilt of one person is the norm for God; in short, it turns out that God no longer resembles God, but someone entirely different.
But after the fall, the world fell under the power precisely of this "other one." If so, everything falls into place. But then in the untransformed world there is no point in looking either for justice or for proper retribution for sin or righteousness. All this can be found only in the Kingdom. Or received, if God directly intervenes in the situation. If, of course, there is someone to ask Him for it.
