My text today is found in Genesis 18. God has just told Abraham what He intends to do to Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham – concerned perhaps not only for the entire city, but especially for his nephew Lot and Lot’s family – Abraham speaks to the Lord: (Genesis 18:25, NIV) “Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
Listen again to that last sentence: “Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?” Another way of asking it might be, ‘Is God good and right and just at all times, in all circumstances, and in all places?”
I want us to pause here a while, because that’s the question all humanity has asked at some time in their lives. And I suspect that there have been – and ARE today – many in church pews and pulpits who ask the same question: Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
