    Justice is not just a matter for that guy over there, nor is it simply a matter of punishment. God shows us His brand of justice in His Servant-Savior who would make us just by grace and then send us out as agents of justice to the world.

There’s a good example of this in two verses in our reading from Matthew’s account of the Sermon on the Mount: "Enter through the narrow ...read more
