This message, the fourth in a series on God's attributes, is about the justice of God. Mike Osborne explains that God's just character can be looked at from two angles: retributive (or punitive) and restorative. The restorative justice of God sets a pattern for Christians to follow toward the poor and marginalized. Let Isaiah 42:1-9 challenge you to re-examine your attitudes toward the "bruised reeds" and "smoldering wicks" around you.
