What Do You MEan By...

I was reading Isaiah this morning and was struck by the verse where God asks His people, What do you mean by crushing my people, by grinding the face of the poor?...I was amazed yet again by God's perfect assumption that He owns ALL, and our accountability to Him because of this. How terrifying to stand before God one day, to have Him look you in the face, and begin to ask questions: What did you mean by, why did you, what made you....etc....Horrible! Questions with no (good) answer. I wonder if that is why we will be speechless on that great and terrible day...Perhaps no accusations, just questions...At least for the world. Thank God for the Mediator who will be between me and Him, displaying the wounded hands, feet and side as the ONLY answer that is, that will be, acceptable...
