If ever a message for justice was needed, it is now. We were created as equals in the image of our loving and eternal God. Surely that must compel us to live and love as ambassadors for justice – not some system devised by us, but one established by God and modeled by Jesus. May this text become your prayer and my prayer as we do our part to create a world where “justice for all” is more than a ritualistic phrase, but truly a standard for living!
