Oklahoma City Memorial, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Justice for all.
According to a government website, Team 5 was the bomb disposal unit that turned its attention to rescuing victims the day of the Oklahoma City bombing which took place on April 19, 1995.
They make three critical statements about justice.
Without God's justice we cannot understand his mercy. Thank God that he is absolutely just because if he is fully just then he is fully merciful.
"We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard. Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins." Romans 3:22-24 NLT
God demands absolute justice for your sin. The penalty for your sin weighed upon the body of Jesus on his cross. And through that cross God has poured out his mercy on you. He is absolutely merciful to you.
This absolute justice and mercy of God is call to complete repentance on our part. Knowing that God forgives we come clean before him. The court of our conscience requires it. The victims who have been affected by behavior cry for it. And our loving God demands it...NOT because he wants us to suffer, but because he wants us to live.
There is justice for you. And it comes in the flesh and blood of God's Son.

- The Courts Require it
- The Victims Cry for it
- And God Demands it
