On the Flip SideExemplo

Has anyone ever made you so mad that you were like, "Ugh, I hope they get what they deserve? I hope they hit their elbow super hard, their pet hamster runs away, their social media accounts get hacked, and they spill a slushy all over themselves, all in the same day." Look, when people wrong us, it's human nature to want to see them pay — to want justice. Some people think God works like that too. They think God is just waiting for a chance to punish us for every horrible thing we've done. But 2,000 years ago, God decided to flip that idea upside down by coming to earth as a man named Jesus. Rather than running around punishing humanity for our wrongs, he actually gave his life in order to heal and restore our relationship with God. And that's how God's justice works. It doesn't just punish in anger but seeks to restore what's broken out of love. And then God invites us to do the same for each other. That's how God flips our definition of justice.
