In itself the trial, beating, and execution of Jesus was a gross injustice. A truly innocent man was found innocent by the court, yet he was beaten and then killed.
It is only when the crimes of all humanity, of you and I, are placed upon Him does it become an act of justice. It is by far the greater act of justice in all of human history. One man, held accountable and executed, for the whole of humanity, for each one of us, for me, so that we may live. The execution of Jesus is where justice, mercy, and grace collided, changing everything.
