But God does not leave Isiah devastated

We tend to think of justice in a positive sense - child murdered and the community wants to see justice
The murder does not want to see justice

The wages of sin is death - in this sense we don't want to see justice done
God's justice is both holy and perfect
God always wants to give mercy
He can not be lenient and can not violate His own justice

The solution is Christ - he reconciled God's justice and mercy
The Lord laid on him the iniquity of us all - Isaiah 53:6

Key Phrase: The solution is Christ - he reconciled God's justice and mercy
