A man who was righteous
In a form er life tim e , but who
Is wicked in this life , s t ill
receives rew ards of for-m er
righteous deeds.
Thus we
see cases of the wicked pros­
pering fa r beyomi what they
apparently deserve. A righ­
teous man in this life often
reaps rew ards of a previous
e v il life .
L ife is not equal, but also,
life is not u n fa ir.
Jesus explained the opera­
tion of the law of Karm a in
these w ords:
"W hen thou
m akest a d inn er o r a supper,
ca ll not thy frie n d s, nor thy
brethren, ne ithe r thy kins­
men, nor thy rich neighbors;
lest they also bid thee again,
and a recompense he made
thee.
" B u t when thou makest a
least, c a ll the poor, the
m aim ed, the lame and b lin d ."
"A n d thou shalt he blessed;
fo r they cannot recompense
thee; fo r thou shalt be re ­
compensed at the re s u rre c ­
tion of the ju s t . " Luke 14:12-14.
