"Justice with mercy includes giving what a person actually needs rather than only what they merit." Thanks for sharing this. I've never thought about the connection between shalom-building, justice and mercy quite like this. I bet that if I looked through Romans with this idea I would connect with Paul's logic of Jesus as the justice of God. Thanks so much. I'll be chewing on this in my context for a while.
