What is Justice?

BIRTHS Mandi and Marty Allen Boy: Carter Alexander 10/20

Justice is perhaps more easily understood in its absence.We know injustice when we see it, in poverty and oppression, in racism and crime. injustice is systemic brokenness. it’s obvious that life isn’t supposed to be this way. Justice, then, is more than a social, political or legal topic. it’s making what is broken whole and complete. it is a glimpse at the heart of God.
