text: Jesus taught us that God has infinite love and forgiveness. Unfortunately, many still believe in retributive justice. In Ezekiel 16, we learn God reamed out the people of Israel.  God punishes them by loving them even more. This is called restorative justice. We need to allow God's infinite love and mercy to redefine ours. We need to realize we don't earn forgiveness. It is not "Let's make a Deal".
