God Calls For Justice: Justice Defined
The Heart of the Law
2 Thessalonians 2:13-17
The Message
13-14Meanwhile,
we've got our hands full continually thanking God for you, our good
friends—so loved by God! God picked you out as his from the very start.
Think of it: included in God's original plan of salvation by the bond of
faith in the living truth. This is the life of the Spirit he invited
you to through the Message we delivered, in which you get in on the
glory of our Master, Jesus Christ.
15-17So, friends, take a firm stand, feet on the ground and head high. Keep a tight grip on what you were taught, whether in personal conversation or by our letter. May Jesus himself and God our Father, who reached out in love and surprised you with gifts of unending help and confidence, put a fresh heart in you, invigorate your work, enliven your speech.
Pray
that you will be open to God's persistent call. Pray that you will join Him in confidence. Pray that you will accept God's help and put your mind and heart into His work.

For Reflection
What
we have been talking about is the relationship between the letter of
the law and the intent of the law. It seems to me that the intent of
God's law is reconciliation through a strong loving relationship with
God and with human kind. God has invited each person to join Him in His
Kingdom.
