Seeking Justice Like Our Father
In Isaiah 1:17, God calls His people to “learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.” These are not just suggestions—they are commands rooted in God’s own heart for justice.
Isaiah highlights three of the most vulnerable groups in his time: the oppressed, the fatherless, and the widow. Their suffering was not to be ignored—it was to be confronted. And the same is true today.
Who are the oppressed? They are those weighed down by injustice, those suffering under the burden of wrongdoing. Defending them is more than offering comfort—it means stepping up, challenging oppression at its source, and refusing to be passive in the face of evil.
Who are the fatherless? In God’s design, parents are protectors and champions for their children. But in a broken world, many children are left without defenders, vulnerable to harm. Taking up their cause means more than acknowledging their need—it means stepping in, seeing their struggles as our own, and becoming the hands and feet of Jesus on their behalf.
Who are the widows? In Isaiah’s time, a woman without a husband often had no security or provision. Even today, many face deep hardship after losing their spouse. Pleading their case isn’t just about sympathy—it’s about advocacy, ensuring they are not ignored, mistreated, or left without support.
The call to justice has always been central to God’s heart. Justice is not separate from faith—it is an expression of it. To follow Jesus is to care about what He cares about, to love those He loves, and to take action on behalf of those who cannot fight for themselves. This isn’t optional. It’s what it means to be a child of God.
When we seek justice, we reflect the heart of our Father, who is always near to the brokenhearted, always championing the cause of the vulnerable, and always working through His people to bring justice to the world.
Grace and Truth in Jesus
For centuries, the nation of Israel awaited the coming Messiah who would bring the Kingdom of God and make things right in the world. Despite pain, persecution, and setbacks, they persevered because their hope was grounded in the promises of God.
Israel’s wait was finally over when the Messiah, Jesus, arrived. However, Jesus did not come as many expected—in a grand procession or with a large army behind Him. Instead, He arrived quietly in the stillness of the night, as a baby, in a little town called Bethlehem.
But in a surprise twist, this newborn was not only the Messiah who would free God’s people from their sins, but God Himself. John tells us that “the Word was God” (John 1:1). The Word exists eternally, but for a time took on human form and lived among people.
Jesus began His earthly ministry in the most humble way—by coming as a baby. But it’s through the person of Jesus that we see the glory of God. Paul says in Colossians, “For in Christ all ...
