The English term justice has a strong legal flavour. But the concept of justice in the Sacred Scripture/Holy Bible goes beyond the law courts to everyday life. The Sacred Scripture/Holy Bible speak of "doing justice". Doing justice is to maintain what is right or to set things right. Justice is done when honourable relations are maintained between husbands and wives, parents and children, employers and employees, government and citizens, and man and God. Justice refers to brotherliness in spirit and action.

Kings, rulers and those in power are to be instruments of justice, - Ps.72:1 - as exemplified by David and Josiah. - 2Sam. 8:15; Jer. 22:15-16 - The prophet Micah declared;
What is good has been explained to you, man;
this is what Yahweh asks of you;
only this , to act justly,
to love tenderly
and to walk humbly with your God. - Mic. 6:8 -
The Book of Isaiah describes God's suffering servant, a description best fulfilled in Jesus, as one whom task as ruler will be to bring justice to the nations. - Is. 42:1-4 -

The prophets of the Old Testament were champions of social justice. During those days, justice was often perverted through bribery and favouritism or partiality. - Deut. 1:17; Pro. 17:23 - But God's rewards come to those who practice justice in all their dealings with others. As God of justice - Is. 30:18 - He is interested in fairness as well as in what makes for right relationships. His actions and decisions are true and right. - Job. 34:12 - His demands on individuals and nations to look after victims of oppression are just demands. - Ps. 82 -

As Lord and Judge, God brings justice to nations. - Ps. 67:4 - and 'sets things right' in behalf of the poor, the oppressed and the victims of injustice. - Ps. 103:6, 146:6-9 - For the wicked , the unjust, and the oppressor, God as supreme Judge of the earth is a dreaded force. But for all who are unjustly treated, God's just action is reason for hope.

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
