Isn't it good to know that there's somebody for whom that's never the case? He never had injustice on his hands. He had never done harm to one that was at peace—in fact, he did good for his enemies. The reality is, outside of Jesus, if God knows you to this degree, these words are not good news—they're terrifying words. A God who knows everything is, for some—think about this, if you're a criminal, the last thing you want is for the police to be on your case. All of us before the bar of divine justice are criminals. None of us can appeal to God, if we're honest, and say, "Look at me, I haven't—I am completely innocent." You might be situationally innocent, but only one person truly is, and he models for us what it is to be able to say these words not just in a relative sense but in an absolute sense.
