Jesus: The Holy One and The Just
But you denied the Holy One and the Just,
and asked for a murderer to be granted to you.
The Jewish leaders rejected Jesus, the Holy One and the Just. They accused Jesus of being a blasphemer of God and a traitor to His nation. They called Him a liar, a winebibber and a hypocrite; and they said He did miracles by the power of Satan. But Jesus is the Holy One, the Second Person of the Trinity, the Son of God. Jesus was pure and separated from sin. He could do no sin for He was God. When you sing three times, “Holy, holy, holy,” you correctly repeat the word “Holy” for each member of the Godhead. Jesus is the Holy One, just as the Father and Holy Spirit are holy. Will you worship His holiness?
Lord Jesus, I testify You are holy. You are holy in Your nature, Your works, and Your dealings with all mankind.
Jesus is the Just One; He never did anything unjustly. He did not treat the Jewish leaders unjustly, even though they lied about Him. He did not treat His Roman executioners unjustly, even though they nailed Him to a cross. Just as He treated everyone justly in His earthly life, so He will treat you justly in all areas of your life. You can trust Him. Because His nature is just, Jesus will always do the right thing.
Lord Jesus, I have trusted You for eternal life. Now I trust You to guide and help me live this day. Help me to be holy as You are holy. Help me treat all people justly as You treat them. Amen.
Because Jesus is holy and just, He will always treat you fairly.
