The Question of Injustice
(Discovering God II)

Some comments:

• If we're surrounded by brokeness and ``crookedness'', where do we get our sense of justice? Like a jungle tribe which is isolated.
• Our sense of justice points us to a God who is just.
• Because of our sin, our sense of justice is bent/warped/broken. Not getting what we want is not necessarily unjust.

Correcting our sense of justice

• Justice always acknowledges the suffering of the weak. Contrast Pharoh's lack of knowledge about Joseph to God's knowledge of him (Exodus 1:8).
• Justice always walks in the shoes of the weak. God allows Himself to be touched by the injustice (Exodus 3:7).

A model of God's justice

• The exodus: freedom for a purpose.
• Combines spiritual truth and social action.
• The purpose: so they would become God's people and worship Him.

Social action without spiritual truth destroys us as people.
