Pulling from Nicholas Wolterstorff's "Quartet of the Vulnerable", this episode focuses on the question, who are the people that God is most concerned for?

What does God have to do in order to bring justice to the complexity of a fallen world? How does Jesus, the Spirit, the gospel, and the Church work with that plan, and what does it have to say about this present moment?

This is part one of a longer teaching (as opposed to preaching) series on justice and the gospel in our world. In this episode, we talk about what the Hebrew words sedek (righteousness) and mishpat (justice) mean, and how they frame our conversations around the topic of biblical justice.
