The Lutheran faith is a Christian faith and as such Lutherans build their hope on the Resurrection promise. I have related the passing of family members in the past. Since Lutherans and Lutheranism is not just those who lead and make headlines. This article reflects the life of an average Lutheran who lived his faith (sola fide) and died in the peace of forgiveness won by Christ on the cross (sola gratia).

V-5 Shoftim Be Deliberate
Shoftim echoes the need for social legislation and courts of justice. The Rabbi Judah haNasi warned that we should live in awe of three things: a seeing eye above, a listening ear and all our deeds written in the Book of Life. (Pirkei Avos 2:1). Talking about Divine Justice and the World-to-Come does not relieve us of the burden of pursuing justice and righteousness within this world. Shoftim reiterates the designation of the Cities of refuge for accidental manslaughter and delineates the need for courts of justice. A court does not guarantee justice unless the judges are of unimpeachable integrity and the witnesses honest. Credibility is not a key quality a witness since credibility is the base of many scams and hoaxes in life. Lies are credible. Many times the truth is unpalatable and incredible, but we must confront it. Guidelines are established for due process of law with warning regarding corruption that occurs through bribery and blind eyes. Shoftim tries to find the balance between angry vengence of the pursuer and compassion for the pursued, reflecting the primary qualities of God--Adonai Eloheinu—Mercy and Compassion always predominating justice.
