Devotions: The Greatest Unfairness

For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

1 Peter 3:18 New American Standard Bible (NASB) (emphasis added)

This is the greatest unfairness of all time and it is called grace. Christ did not deserve to die. He didn’t deserve to be punished. He never did anything wrong, not once, and yet He died to pay for the sins of all humanity. He suffered more unfairly than any other person in history, and He did it for us, so that we could experience His grace and forgiveness. He died unfairly to give us a gift we could never deserve. No matter what we think we have unfairly experienced, it is nothing compared to what He experienced. And no amount of unfair suffering we experience is greater than the unfair grace God freely offers to us. His grace far outweighs any unfair treatment or suffering we endure. When you feel that life is unfair, when you wonder “why me?”, remember grace. Remember the great gift God has given you that you don’t deserve. Thank God for the unfairness you experience at His expense.
