In this episode, Ken returns to the topic of the distinction between order - or law - and justice, and how for God order is important but justice for everyone is what is paramount.

Ken shared the story of Jesus healing the man born blind in John chapter 9 , which he thinks depicts well this difference between people's emphasis on the law and God's emphasis on justice and ensuring the well being of everyone.

In this story the Pharisees, who maintained religious order, insisted God couldn't be behind this miracle because he broke the Sabbath laws to heal the man. Their mental model was that anything of God must be based on the laws they'd created - on their order. But sometimes God breaks the order to bring justice.

Ken invites us to think about this question, "How resistant are we to God changing our assumptions and beliefs and about how things work? Do we have enough humility to say, "I have a set of beliefs and assumptions about how things are supposed to go, and they don't always go that way. Sometimes God blows up my beliefs and assumptions, and sometimes God breaks the order in order to bring justice."

The Pharisees in the story lacked humility and the capacity to have eyes to see what God was doing in their midst. What Ken invites us to think about is whether we allow God to have any room to be bigger than our rules. When people are taken advantage of because of the rules, God will intervene, because God always stands on the side of justice.
