How is justice done?
We have an innate sense of justice and fairness. How do we do justice?
A child cries when a toy is taken away.
When do we know when to fight for justice?
Do you make things right?
Adam and Eve were willfully disobedient. Genesis 3
We want to make things right. 10 Commandments were given as a guide for justice.
John 12.20,33
Putting things right. Unless a grain of rice dies it can't bear fruit.
Life is greater out there. We are only here for a minute.
