Justice, Mercy & Grace

I was listening to a sermon by John Ortberg (Menlo Park Presbyterian) and he gave these memorable definitions (I provided the examples):
JUSTICE - You get what got comin.
(You get a ticket for speeding when you were doing 62 mph in a 45 mph zone.)
MERCY - You don't get what you got comin.
(The officer just gives you a warning for doing 62 mph in a 45 mph zone.)
GRACE - You get what you don't got comin.
(The officer's motorcycle won't start as he is about to chase you to give you a ticket)
