Opis

In the Hands of God The Old Testament writers spoke very frankly about the state of the just who had died. To the just man, the world is seen as just because they live within He who is justice itself. "Blessed are the clean in heart: they will see God." (Matt. 5:8) I was told once by a holy religious that "to the pure all things are pure;" that is, the cost of purity is fidelity to grace. As Bonhoffer once called it "costly grace." When the just person lives within that narrow path of grace he/she integrates his suffering with grace and "everything works together" for him/her. Death is no surprise to the just, since their life has been a dying to the injustice of the world and living the justice of God: "if you keep my commandments you will remain in my love." (Jn. 15:10 NAB) "We know that Christ, raised from the dead, dies no more; death has no longer power over him." (Rom. 6:9 NAB)"
