I think its really sad how many thousands upon thousands of people have become passionately involved with this recent Casey Anthony trial. I haven't been following it too much, just hearing what the news reports about it. It made me sad to see how mad people were about the verdict of "not guilty". I mean people were very upset about it. There is even a facebook group about how people think the verdict was wrong. Why do we as humans get so involved with stuff like this? I think it is because we naturally want justice. I firmly believe in justice but it has become so twisted in this world. It's twisted due to the fallen world we live in. It is just so interesting how we get so involved with one person, and get wrapped up in the drama. I do not know if she really is guilty or innocent, only God knows. And he is the ulitmate judge of this. He is the ultimate judge of us. If we are so disgusted with what most people are convinced with what she has done, we should also be disgusted with ourselves. Every sin weighs the same. There is no sin that is greater than another. To go even further Jesus tells us that even if we hate someone in our heart that is the same as murdering someone! Woah!
Jesus loves this woman and died on the cross for her sins at the same time as all of ours.
If we as humans want justice so bad we should open our eyes to what is really going on in this world. Why don't we get passionate about the sex trafficking that is going on, the millions of girls who are being bought and sold as sex slaves? Why don't we get passionate about the thousands of kids who are being taken away from thier families and beaten until they become child soliders? Why don't we get passionate about children dying everyday due to not having clean water? Instead we get so caught up in one woman who may or may not have done something that weighs the same as the wrong things we do everyday. If only we opened our eyes to the things going on in this world, instead of sitting on the couch getting wrapped up in drama and then yelling at the television because something didn't happen the way we think it should happen.
Maybe thats what Satan wants? He wants us to be distracted by the things that leave us on the couch and complacent. What if we all got up and spoke up for the masses? What if we lived a life where we let God truly live through us?
Just a thought.
