Justice and the Way of Jesus

What is justice?

Micah 6:8 – Act justly, love mercy, and walk  humbly

“God’s power to make RIGHT what has been WRONG.”  – Fleming Rutledge

Thy KINGDOM come

In TROY as it in heaven

Two aspects of justice: PUNISHMENT and ADVOCACY

Quartet of  the VULNERABLE

No one gets OVERLOOKED in the Kingdom of God.

Luke 18:1-8

If you want to see what’s wrong in the  world made right, it begins in PRAYER.

Acts 2:42-47

In the world, there tends to be a desire to WAKE people up to injustices they see.

In the church, there tends to be a desire to have justice without taking personal RESPONSIBILITY.

Both… often desire the kingdom apart from the KING.

“They enjoyed the favor of all the people.” –  v. 47
