Touchdowns and Justice

This play was pretty bad, but I'm sure the refs did the best they could, but their best wasn't good enough. I listened to a sports talk radio show on my way to work the next day and there was outrage, OUTRAGE I say. They quoted the rule book line by line and rule by rule explaining how bad the call was. They were outraged at the injustice done.

I've been thinking about this all week, not so much from a Packers perspective (as I am a Giants fan when it comes to the NFC) but from the perspective that  humans yearn for justice and things being set right. Where does that come from? Certainly not a evolutionary process. The strong survive, right? Who cares about justice when the point is to pass your genes along? Where did all the outrage come from over a clear breaking of the rules and injustice going unpunished?

God has created man with the knowledge of God and natural laws written in their hearts. Man yearns for justice because they are made in the image of a just God. This football game doesn't amount to much and I'm not making more of it than it is - but think about the stir it caused and why.

Also think about how these same people will apply situational ethics to moral issues. They will say "you have your truth, I have mine" when it comes to the moral law. Why not apply that same ethic to football? If there is no right and wrong, then why isn't a touchdown?

Is God less concerned with right and wrong with His rules than you are with the NFL's? So when the NFL has a rule and it is violated we say injustice. But when God has a rule and it is violated we say "to each his own."

God is a God of justice and He will set things right.
God is a God of laws and He will punish the evildoer and breaker of the law.
And people know it.
