We Think Of Justice Sometimes As Getting What You Deserve, You Know - what Crime Was Committed And What Is The Punishment For That Crime. That's How A Lot Of The Criminal Justice Works. But God's Justice Is Restorative, So It's Not As Interested In Those Same Questions Of "what Did They Do Wrong?" And "what Is The Punishment For That?" It's More About What Harm Was Done And How Do We Heal That Harm, And That's A Much More Redemptive Version. So, It Definitely Doesn't Turn A Blind Eye To Harm, But It Does Say We Want To Heal The Wounds Of That.
