In what KIND of Justice do you believe?  Retributive justice or Restorative justice? 


When Jesus was dying on the cross, he didn't wait for all those who condemned him, mocked him, beat and nailed him to the cross---to ask his forgiveness or to repent.  He cried out, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do."  That was NOT an example of Retributive justice.
That was pure MERCY and Restorative justice---seeing these people as God's much loved children.
