Do you believe in justice? What aspect of justice do you think is most important? Retribution is punishment for wrongdoing, restoration is about preventing future offenses. One looks to the past and the other looks to the future. Which of these aspects is emphasized in the criminal justice system of your country? Which is emphasized in my word? Consider such statements as, it is the goodness of God that leads you to repentance, and, neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more. Which do you prefer for yourself? If you like restorative justice for yourself, are you willing to extend it to others?
