When we realize that we are both wretched and beautiful, we are freed up to see others the same way.

Perhaps there is no more dangerous place for a Christian to be than in safety and comfort, detached from the suffering of others.

As my friend said that when people say the church is full of hypocrites, he says we always have room for more.

We think of justice sometimes as getting what you deserve, you know  -  what crime was committed and what is the punishment for that crime. That's how a lot of the criminal justice works. But God's justice is restorative, so it's not as interested in those same questions of "What did they do wrong?" and "What is the punishment for that?" It's more about what harm was done and how do we heal that harm, and that's a much more redemptive version. So, it definitely doesn't turn a blind eye to harm, but it does say we want to heal the wounds of that.
