00:00:00 --> 00:00:04 Kids are obsessed with rules and fairness.

00:00:04 --> 00:00:10 However, in this episode, we'll discuss a scenario when lack of fairness is a good thing.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:11 Tune in!

00:00:11 --> 00:00:23 Hello and welcome to MoMo634, the daily podcast chock-full of faith-filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:24 --> 00:00:28 MoMo634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:52 In our last episode, we discussed toddlers and their preoccupation with, why?

00:00:53 --> 00:00:59 Moving up to the elementary years, kids are obsessed with rules and fairness.

00:00:59 --> 00:01:03 You'll often hear a pouty, that's not fair, during playtime.

00:01:05 --> 00:01:11 Spiritually speaking, we should all be tremendously thankful that things are not fair.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:16 If they were, we would all be under a death sentence.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:20 Romans 6.23 says, Mercy means we don't get what we deserve.

00:01:20 --> 00:01:22 Grace is unmerited favor.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23 Through Christ, we have both.

00:01:39 --> 00:01:46 And neither should be considered fair, because our sins cost the blood of Jesus.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:58 Yet, because of God's mercy and grace, we can rejoice now that we have the hope of eternal life, and later we can rejoice because we can live with Him eternally.

00:02:00 --> 00:02:15 One of the thieves, crucified along with Jesus, rebuked the other thief, saying, We are punished justly, for we are receiving what our actions deserve, but this man has done nothing wrong.

00:02:15 --> 00:02:23 Luke 23, 41 God's innate justice called for a price to be paid.

00:02:24 --> 00:02:30 Yet grace and mercy allowed for a substitution in the form of Jesus the Christ.

00:02:32 --> 00:02:40 Our meme for today says, Sometimes what we get isn't fair, and for that we should be thankful.

00:02:41 --> 00:02:56 So the next time you lament that things are not fair, instead rejoice that we have an advocate who paid the ransom and obtained our freedom from the twin shackles of sin and death.

00:02:59 --> 00:03:04 Thanks for listening to MoMo634, Motivational Moments, just for today.
