“So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.”
Esther 7:10 KJV
So Haman was hanged on the very gallows that he had built for Mordecai. And the king’s hot anger cooled. Justice caught up quickly with Haman. God is just and perfect in all His ways, that’s why we ascribe greatness to Him. The more so in Christ because Jesus was judged and bore the punishment for all mankind’s sins. You see, in the good news, God's restorative justice is revealed. And as we will see, it begins with and ends in faith. As the Scripture declares, "By faith the just will obtain life." Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the LORD understand it completely. We can only understand the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the finished work of the Cross, if we understand that Christ was judged on our behalf personally for each sin of ours. We have now been justified by His blood, and we are now saved from wrath through Christ. Amen!
