The world saw a rare example of how both justice and undeserving love can exist side-by-side in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa after the fall of apartheid. Accountability and truth were not causalities of love; they were handmaidens to it. Just like Jesus, who always named the sin before he unconditionally forgave it, those who had done great evil in South Africa were required to name to their victims and other witnesses exactly what they had done. They were required to face and hear how their actions affected others. Then they were released, scot-free. They had to come to the truth, but once they did, they were not held within the normal system of wrongdoing and punishment. They were held to a higher system of divine forgiveness.
