Judgment and justice

I went to court yesterday to deal with my ticket for expired tags. The judge was not in a very good mood. One guy before me had expired tags too, and tried to get some mercy by telling the judge, "I got it taken care of the very next day!" To which the judge replied, "Well, you should've taken care of it before you ended up in court!" So I decided it would be a good idea just to keep my mouth shut.

I felt some sympathy for the judge, he was clearly irritated with the people he was trying, and I suppose I would be too, after dealing with it day in and day out.

Someday we will all stand before God and be judged. Will God be angry? The Bible says:
"See, the day of the LORD is coming
—a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger—
to make the land desolate
and destroy the sinners within it." -Isaiah 13:9

God is angry at sin, and sinners, big and small, will have no place to hide on that day. Unless, that is, they are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ. There is going to be a greater Passover than the one recorded in Exodus. The blood of the true Passover lamb will protect all who are covered by it from wrath and judgment on that terrible day.
