Then he found that there were also people, less well-known, people who got alongside those who came up before magistrates. Not lawyers, but people who could help those accused of petty crime to plead their case. My friend took on that job, felt it was a better reflection of God's concern. God is the judge, he's also the one who doesn't want anyone to fail at the final judgement. God is a God of judgement, also a God of mercy.
Mercy triumphs over judgement.
God be merciful, God let mercy triumph over judgement. God is looking for the person who will stand before God in the gap on behalf of this nation. As Christians in an ungodly nation, there are two ways we can pray, two attitudes we can have. Both these attitudes are in the Bible, and both have been adopted by Christians at different times. This is the attitude that says the world around is evil and godless, my priority is to be separate and remain pure.
