Justice is in short supply in our world. We need to understand better what it means to seek and to do justice. Justice is not simply about punishing people – it is about putting things right. “Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” That’s a quote from the Hebrew Bible. It sees justice as transformative, like a mighty, surging river. Because justice is an intervening power. It has momentum, it overflows, and it brings the possibility for change and healing. Like a river, justice brings life to a parched land. We need to recover something of this transformative vision for justice, and discover how this can irrigate every level of society.

Justice is an expression of wisdom, which builds community, and is seen in right relationships. Seeking justice means seeking wisdom, seeking community, and seeking right relationships.
