T. 25. VIII. 11 – 13. Jesus: “Each special function the Holy Spirit allots is but for this; that each one learn that love and justice are not separate. Both love and justice are strengthened by their union with each other. Without love is justice prejudiced and weak. And love without justice is impossible. For love is wholly fair to all, and cannot chasten without cause.
What cause could there ever be to warrant an attack upon the innocent? With justice, then, does love correct mistakes, but not with any sort of vengeance. For that would be unjust to the innocence of God’s Son.
You can be perfect witness to the power of love and love’s justice, if you but understand it is impossible the Son of God could merit vengeance. You need not perceive, in every circumstance, that this is true. Nor need you look to your own experience in the world, which is but the shadows of what is happening within yourself!

The understanding that you need comes not of you, but from a larger Self, so great and holy that He could not doubt His innocence. Your special function is a constant call to Him, that He may smile on you whose sinlessness He shares. His understanding will be yours. And as it is, the Holy Spirit’s special function has been fulfilled. God’s Son has found a witness unto his sinlessness and not his sins. How little of yourself do you need to give the Holy Spirit, that simple justice may be given you.
Without impartiality there is no justice. How can specialness ever be just? Judge not because you cannot judge, not because you are a ‘miserable sinner’ too! How can the special really understand that justice is the same for everyone? To take from one to give another must be an injustice to them both, since they are equal in the Holy Spirit’s sight.

Their Father gave the same inheritance to both. Who would have more or less than another is not aware that he has everything. He is no judge of what must be another’s due, because he thinks himself deprived. And so must he be envious, and try to take away from whom he judges. He is not impartial, and cannot fairly see another’s rights, because by trying to be special, his own have been obscured to him.”
