JUSTICE
What do you think is the purpose of life?
Purpose of life should be good for oneself and for the society. But I am confused about what it should be.
Is there a judgement after this life?
I think judgement happens in this life only and I don’t know about after life.
Do you think this world is fair?
No
But you just said that that judgement happens in this life.
What I mean is that judgement happens in this life but we are not able to recognise it.
There was a man who killed many people during the screening of Batman returns movie and he was sentenced to 3000 plus years of imprisonment. Do you think he will be able to complete his sentence.
No he won’t be able to complete it.
So then did judgement happen here.
Well during the course of it he would remorse.
Don’t you think that judgement is done not basically to get them to remorse but to make them go through the punishment for what they have done. So if he is not able to go through the sentence of the judgement. Do you think he was judged for his act in this life?
No
For example when someone commits suicide he basically wants to escape the difficult situation he is going through. But some say that he is going through the situation because he has to suffer punishment. But don’t you think that he escaped his punishment by committing suicide in that way.
Seems like.
Or even the terrorists those who killed more that 3000 people at WTC and died in that act. Do you think they were judged in this life for it?
No
Do you think that there should be judgement after this life?
Yes there should be.
What would be the basis of judgement?
According to the deeds.
Does that mean the one who would do good deeds will go to heaven and the one with bad deeds will do to hell?
Yes it will be based on deeds.
Suppose there is a man who has done lot of good deeds but one bad deed and says to the judge let me go free because I have done all the good deeds but one. What do you think Judge would do?
He will not let him go free.
Is there anyone in this world who is without sin?
None
Suppose there are three glasses of clean drinking water. In the first one I pour one drop of sewage water, in the second five, and in the third, fifteen. From which glass would you like to drin?
None.
It means that something can be very small but may have a huge impact. How small sin may seem like but causes a huge barrier.
Ok. Tell me how would you clean a dirty table?
Cotton cloth, a clean one.
Why not dirty?
Because it will not clean well.
Would you agree that the one who can clean us should be sinless?
Yes
Would you agree that in this process he would take our dirt upon himself?
Yes.
Would you agree that, only the one who loves unconditionally would do it?
Yes
Suppose your relationship is broken with your father because of your mistakes. How many ways are there to mend it?
I will ask for forgiveness.
Is it not the only way to mend our relationship with God, that we receive forgiveness?
Yes.
Suppose you took a huge loan from your friend which you are unable to pay. Now your friend says that I love you and I forgive your loan. You got it for free but who paid the cost?
My Friend.
Do you agree that the one who forgives pays the cost?
Yes.
Did God pay the cost for the forgiveness of our sins?
I don’t now.
Have you heard about the cross of Jesus Christ?
Yes I have heard the he sacrificed his life for us.
