An Expanded View of Justice
Description
In the second part of our conversation with David Miller, we explore why justice is far more complicated and expansive than we often think. Instead of falling into the “flextape” mentality, David challenges us to resist simple solutions and approach brokenness with humility, curiosity, and patience.
Key Points
- Justice, as a biblical concept, is far broader than we think; it requires patience over time, not simple solutions.
- Instead of trying to resolve suffering quickly, we have to learn the spiritual discipline of lament.
- If we are going to pursue justice, we also have to ask God to make right the injustices we have committed against others.
