Justified?

Palm Sunday
April 01, 2012
When personal judgment is inoperative (or forbidden), men's first concern is not how to choose, but how to justify their choice.  Ayn Rand

People can always find a way justify their actions… at least in their own minds. Today is Palm Sunday… Jesus rode into Jerusalem guilty of nothing yet the ‘church’ said he was a criminal… how did they, the people, justify their actions? They believed what someone told them and only had half the facts and a lot of the untruths... and they put Him in prison, beat Him and put Him to death… all because they believed what they were told by others. Jesus was vindicated … His accusers, well I’m pretty sure they were tired in a much higher court and the punishment was severe.


When one goes looking to justify their actions, I’m sure they can find a reason to justify them, if on in their minds, but at what cost? Where does it end… does it matter how many may get hurt…


Just be careful before you pass judgment on someone… Just remember Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Sunday, innocent, and on Friday was nailed to a cross. I may be wrong, but I think the people that called for His death may have learned something that I believe with all my heart… what goes around comes around.
