God's law are not arbitrary - Esther 1-5

The law(s) of the land are sometimes built on false wisdom and on contemptible situations.  So, we see here in counsel given to King Ahauerus by one of his servants and advisors: Memucan.  The situation of the Queen not coming to the party when the King ask is certainly a contemptible thing ... if your the king.   If your the Queen it is a different story.   Her failure to "comply" to the King is not grounds for dismissal ... unless you are the king.   The story is about two people full of pride.   Maybe a third person full of pride, if you count Memucan, the advisor to the king.  He wants the kings ear.   The king wants the queens body.  The queen wants her privacy and autonomy.   So, we see this is no time to create a law.  Yet, that is what Memucan proposes.   He turns a situation more suited for marriage counselors, into a congressional act and produces a law; that will never be able to change.   Man's justice and legal system is a farce when you understand the legal and moral "system" of God.  God does not arbitrarily make a law based upon ego and envy.  God's law and justice is based upon His perfect character of love, mercy and holiness.  He does not punish on a whim.  He does not demote us on a whim when we fail to "dance" in front of Him.   His perfect holiness and love met at the Cross.  He crucified His only Son so that we could have His righteousness.   Man creates laws in knee-jerk reaction to the ego and envy that lurks in his heart.   Not so with God.   We can not measure up to God's Law but He provides His Son in our stead.  Man's law can only condemn.
