We finished Romans 9 and discussed the difference between what is FAIR and MERCY. “Mercy” is what God decides it is but what is considered “fair” is subject to human definition. So, to those who might say, “God is unfair,” scripture instructs that the pot may not question the potter's purpose for it. See Romans 9:20 and Isaiah 29:16 and 45:9. As we have seen throughout history and even in current political discourse, “fair” can have widely divergent meanings.
