"On the cross neither justice nor mercy loses out--both are fulfilled at once. Jesus' death was necessary if God was going to take justice seriously and still love us. The same concern for both love and justice should mark all our relationships. We should never acquiesce in injustice. Jesus identified with the oppressed. Yet we should not try to overcome evil with evil. Jesus forgave his enemies and died for them."
