Judge – We Need A Miracle

In the western world, an adversarial system of justice is in place, where the legal framework places two advocates against one another before an impartial judge or jury, seeking a judgment or redress. Christians may see themselves as immune to taking someone to court, but they may become the defendant from an adversarial state or an aggrieved party. Jesus gave advice about this system of justice. “Agree with thine adversary [Greek, antidikos, opponent in a lawsuit] quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison” (Matthew 5:25 KJV). Man’s courts imperfectly mirror God’s courts. Consequently, we need to know how to transact business before the Courts of Heaven. Why? Because the Judge of All the Earth hears cases brought before Him against us by our Supernatural Adversary — and, the Ancient of Days invites it. “And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered My servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth [turns away from] evil” (Job 1:8). We need to familiarize ourselves with God’s courts, for He dispenses justice.
