In these unsettled times, justice comes into question. Justice is blind, we claim. The Greek statue of Justice wears a blindfold, supposedly to avoid favoritism–of friend over foe, of rich over poor, of one race or ethnicity over another.

- Does blind equal fair?
- Is fair the same as just?
- Can justice coexist with mercy?
-
God is not blind–He sees all.
Isaiah 61:8 (NIV)
For I, the Lord, love justice;
I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
God is perfectly just, perfectly merciful, perfectly loving. The rest of us, blinded by our own experience and expectations, will fall short.
