Justice

Monday January 1st 2006, Isaiah 61: 11The LORD will bring about justice and praise in every nation on earth, like flowers blooming in a garden. First let us understand that justice is not another name for things done our way. Justice is a two edged sword and cuts both ways. We still live in a world of nations, God’s vision is a world filled with the children of God without the divisions. Short of living in a world where we recognize others as sisters and brothers in Christ, we live in a world of injustice. True justice would mean that we would have less so that others could have more. True justice would not focus on tax breaks for the wealthiest among us while cutting programs that benefit the least of these ( http://www.elca.org/bishop/m_051221.html ). True justice means caring for all of God’s creation.
