I’ll have to agree with you though, because obviously everything He does is good. I’ve often pondered Judgement Day, and thought of those being cast into the outer darkness. There’s always been pangs of grief for them in my heart, you know “Lord, isn’t there SOME WAY they could be saved from it?”

But I reckon in that day, seeing things as they really are, we’ll see the justice in it and beyond that, even the glory of it (I think), as His eternal plan is completed. What seems eternally cruel to us now, we’ll see as just through His eyes. We’ll know how evil sin is, past what we can comprehend now, and why He deals with it so severely.

And were it not for Jesus, I’d be receiving His eternal judgement while shouting, “Your ways are right, and your judgement is true!”

And you’re right- It would be good.

I think that a super awesome message that relates to this topic is Mark Driscoll, “Boasting About Jesus” – you can check out the vodcast by searching for Mars Hill Church on iTunes. We watched and discussed it last night for Bible Study and it was powerful for everyone, including me even though it was my 4th time watching it!!
