The normal picture we have of justice is a blindfolded woman holding a pair of scales. However, is this the Biblical picture of justice? Biblical justice is not blind but rather it is closely associated with grace. We need to remember that Biblical justice reflects God's holy and loving nature. Biblical justice is righteous, that is it is right relationships. The problem we have with the normal view of justice is that it is usually rectifying justice which is correcting wrong rather than living in right relationships.
