WHAT IS SERVANT LEADERSHIP? “THE SERVANT LEADER IS SERVANT FIRST, BEGINNING WITH THE NATURAL FEELING THAT ONE WANTS TO SERVE; THEN CONSCIOUS CHOICE BRINGS ONE TO ASPIRE TO LEAD. . .

“IF ANYTHING GOES BAD, THEN I DID IT. IF ANYTHING GOES SEMI-GOOD, THEN WE DID IT. IF ANYTHING GOES REALLY GOOD, THEN YOU DID IT.” BEAR BRYANT
"Mishpat means acquitting or punishing every person on the merits of the case, regardless of race or social status. Anyone who does the same wrong should be given the same penalty. But mishpat means more than just the punishment of wrongdoing. It also means to give people their rights." Tim Keller, Generous Justice
"Tzedek is social justice, 'the recognition of an injustice and the commitment to work to rectify that injustice through action, service, and education within the community and beyond.'"
Thus, mishpat represents that concept which is so familiar to Americans of "equal justice under the law." The law must apply uniformly to all regardless of circumstances. Tzedek goes beyond that to encompass an obligation to those who are hungry, homeless, mentally or physically ill, imprisoned or otherwise in need -- "the least of these my brethren" according to Jesus.
So what is justice? Indeed it is grounded in fairness. But it also includes our civic duty of equality under the law and our moral responsibility to assist those in need.
