DAILY READINGS: 1 Chronicles 7:1-40; Ezekiel 10:1-22; John 2:23-3:21

He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the Lord. Proverbs 17:15
Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus. Romans 3:24

We are outraged when guilty men go free, yet at the heart of the Christian gospel stands this sentence—God justifies the ungodly! He acquits the guilty! How can He do this and remain righteous? The death of Christ vindicates God and justifies sinners. Everything Jesus suffered He suffered for God’s glory for, “it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for
sin” (Isa. 53:10). —Drew Craig

God could not pass the sinner by, his sins demand that he must die,
But in the cross of Christ we see, how God can save, yet righteous be. — Author Unknown
