Even if there is only one person in Jerusalem who “acts justly and seeks truth,” God will pardon the whole city.  God is faithful when we are unfaithful.  But does that mean that God does not act with justice?  Paul implies that it’s hard for us to understand God’s justice from a human point of view.  But I suspect it has more to do with making everything right than with punishing people for where they’ve gone wrong.  It’s about restoration, not retribution, and it only takes one just soul to get it started.
