Perhaps no better illustration of Justice in the history of mankind can be found than that of King David’s outrage when the poor man’s lamb was taken away by the rich man (2 Samuel 12:1-14). We relate to this outrage because we are created in God's Image and so we too desire justice (Genesis 1:27; Deuteronomy 32:4). That is why Nathan told the story to David in the first place. King David recognized his own injustice in taking Uriah’s wife from him. David’s immediate repentant prayer was effective because by admitting his sin against God, he acknowledged the Righteousness of God.
Acknowledging the Righteousness of God is important for everyone to know, which is why God commissioned this event to have been recorded in His Holy Bible. It's important because it shows that while God will accept your fear and obedience, He will still kill your innocent child to make a point, so be careful and don't offend Him if you love your babies.
Then put it back to finish baking.
