Emphasis Preaching Journal

Do you ever get the feeling that when we humans talk about justice and judgments we are talking an entirely different language than God does? Perhaps we are like the deaf man who took to court another deaf man, and the judge was much deafer than either. The complainant asserted that the other owed him five months' rent. The defendant countered and said his opponent had been grinding corn at night to avoid the tax. The judged looked at them and said, "Why are you quarreling? She is your mother; you must both support her."
