We have seen such acts in our modern society quite often, especially the incidences in Mumbai when a woman was molested by a mob. Often it become difficult to pin down the perpetrator of such crimes because they take the advantage that a crowd offers of being lost inside it. Such acts prompt a man to let go off his rational behaviour to lend himself to his baser animal instincts.

But the author mentioned about Jesus who was also subject to such mob behaviour. But that was not the only incidence but everyday we are becoming a part of this world which is acting like a mob against God by propagting ideas and philosphies under the disguise of freedom and choice. But we all know in our hearts that it is our selfish desire to protect our hurting consciences which continuously holds us guilty for giving in to the baser animal like insticts of our body and mind. Talk about gay rights, abortions, divorce rates or addictions we have covered them as just normal human behaviour when they all are giving in to our hearts desires.

But the Bible says that Jesus before whom our hearts will be laid bare one day and on that day we face him eye to eye. Just me and him. There will be no mob to hide inside. Matthew 25 says quotes Jesus on the subject of his second coming when he says “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.”

Now day’s people don’t wait for the justice. They do what is right in their own eyes. Blame it on the prolonged, corrupt, hassled judicial system or what not. They have lost their faith. In the classic bollywood days, when the villain is in the verge to be killed by the hero the clichés dialogue was “Bhaiya, Kanun ko apne hath me math lo” (don’t take law in your own hands). And in the end when the credentials for the movie are shown, the villain is either seen in the court or in jail. A true, happy ending! Justice was never in the hands of a single individual, it was a law to be followed by everyone. When the law is the broken, the culprit is brought before the judicial system, to exhibit justice and maintain the law and the order. Have you ever wondered why order is required? So that it’s true in everyone’s eye.
When mob becomes a justice, I wonder what measuring rod we will use to evaluate everyone with. How will the law and the order be maintained?
