Monday December
29th, 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 who see beyond borders. We are
called to live in this God world where we recognize others as sisters and
brothers in Christ. We are called to
recognize that we live in a world of injustice and then are called to try to do
something about that. 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. God’s justice means caring for
all of God’s creation, not just our backyard.
