The house of Israel says God’s way is not fair, but their way is not fair. 

Ezekiel 33:17

“Yet the children of your people say, ‘The way of the Lord is not fair.’ But it is their way which is not fair!” Ezekiel 33:17 

Today, the Jewish people in all parts of the world are echoing the same words that was spoken when Jesus Christ walked this earth, “God’s ways are not fair.” They did not believe then and they do not believe now that the Salvation of God comes through Jesus Christ for the whosoever. “…let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” Acts 2:36

Even today, the Jewish people do not recognize those who follow Jesus Christ as receiving Salvation to become the children of God. In other words, they discard Jesus Christ, discard the whole Christian population, discard the entire New Testament [the Gospel of Christ], and deny that Jesus Christ is the only way to God. In essence, they want to go back to the Old Testament times when the Jewish people held exclusive rights to God.

Every time the Jewish people are confronted with the following verse, they shake their head “No!” and in their spirit are saying it’s not fair for God to accept Christians as His children, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

Obviously, it is God’s way that is fair to bring His Salvation to whoever believes in His Son Jesus Christ. The ways of the Jewish people are not fair who wants to maintain exclusive rights to God and consider everyone else to be rejected by God.

Jesus Christ spoke the Parable of the Prodigal Son to illustrate how unfair the Jewish people thought God’s ways were. Jesus Christ taught them that it is their ways that are unfair but God’s loving and compassionate ways are fair. Below are excerpts from the Parable of the Prodigal Son,

“And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living…And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.

But when he came to himself, he said… I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”’…And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

“But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry; for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.

Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing…But he was angry and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him. So he answered and said to his father, ‘Lo, these many years I have been serving you; I never transgressed your commandment at any time; and yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might make merry with my friends. But as soon as this son of yours came, who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fatted calf for him.’

Jesus Christ is the fatted calf who was slain for sinners who were dead in sin and made alive again in the Spirit, who were lost and are found. The Jewish people thought that was so unfair that they plotted to have Christ Jesus crucified.  “This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners…” 1 Timothy 1:15

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
the emblem of suffering and shame;
and I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best
for a world of lost sinners was slain.
[Church Hymn]

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
