The Sermon on the Mount indicates that when we are on a mission for Jesus Christ, there is no time to stand up for ourselves. Jesus says, in effect, “Don’t worry about whether or not u are being treated justly.†Looking for justice is actually a sign that we have been diverted from our devotion to Him. Never look for justice in this world, but never cease to give it. If we look for justice, we will only begin to complain and to indulge ourselvesin the discontent of self-pity, as if to say, “Why should I be treated like this?†If we are devoted to Jesus Christ, we have nothing to do with what we encounter, whether it is just or unjust. In essence, Jesus says, “Continue steadily on with what I have told you to do, and I will guard ur life. If you try to guard it urself, u remove urself from My deliverance.†Even the most devout among us become atheistic in this regard, we do not believe Him. We put our common sense on the throne and then attach God’s name to it. Wedolean to our own understanding,instead of trusting God with all our hearts (see Proverbs 3:5-6).
