Justice is a concept, a concept that can be very theoretical and abstract.  But, we must ask ourselves, what does justice look like?Justice - like everything else we examine  -  must look like Jesus!  Jesus came to fulfill justice proactively, in community, so that we might live and participate in a way that is dynamic, actively toward the fringes and margins of the system, so that those who have previously been excluded by the system might taste participation in the community.  In order for that to happen, we must overturn the tables of our definitions, dismantling the static structures of ‘justice’, which actually are very unjust to the poor. Come Deviate with us, as explore it means to corporately embody the sort of justice we are speaking about here, as we embrace the Christomorphic shape of justice we find in the picture of Jesus.Texts:David P.
