Thank you Relient K

"The beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair."
- Relient K "Be My Escape"

I've heard it before and so have you.
It's a staple comment made when you think things don't go your way.
When you think life is kicking you down just because it can.
"Life is SO UNFAIR!"

You can bet your bottom dollar it isn't.
Because if it was...man. We'd all be screwed.

If life was fair things could get slightly better for us,

But If life was fair to us then it would have to be fair to Jesus too.
And If life was fair to Jesus He would have been recognized as the true Messiah
If life was fair Jesus would have been saved all that pain and suffering on the cross

And if life was fair he wouldn't have had to die for our sins.
So if life was fair and he didn't die for our sins
Then there would be no attonement for those sins
And...since the wages of sin is death
If life was fair, we'd get exactly what we deserve.

So this is what I say..."Life is so unfair? Thank God."
