The Shepherd's Verdict
Johnson Winter Slattery
Level 9, 211 Victoria Square, Adelaide
One ancient Shepherd surveyed the surrounding countries and saw nothing but injustice: one nation threshed an unsuspecting nation with sledges having iron teeth, another took captive whole communities; yet another sold captives, flagrantly disregarding a treaty. Another pursued his brother with a sword.
Yet when his gaze is directed to his own people, he sees nothing better: the innocent sold for silver and many who hate the one who upholds justice in court, detesting the one who tells the truth.
To this shepherd Amos comes a breathtaking vision of how justice will be finally done – when new wine will drip from the mountains and all will be restored.
Come along to the next Adelaide City Legal and hear lawyer Jonathan Brohier unpack the majestic message of one man who cried out for justice – and what it might mean for us today.
