Key Verse: 24
Title: EYE FOR EYE: THE LAW'S JUSTICE
Content:
1. Justice for the vulnerable (12-27)

God's command is: You shall not murder (20:13). In the case of unintentional death, the perpetrator could flee. But those who scheme and kill deliberately are to be put to death. Further expansion of this law was made to protect the most vulnerable of society: kidnapping victims, elderly parents, slaves, women, and the unborn. In all cases, society is to hold people responsible and protect the weak. God's law of 'eye for eye' prevents cyclical vengeance while holding people accountable. Jesus tells us not to resist an evil person but to turn the other cheek (Mt 5:38-42), overcoming evil with good (Ro 12:21).

2. Owner's responsibility (28-36)

In an agrarian society, a bull was not only a very important piece of equipment, but also a powerful and dangerous force if not cared for. God's law held owners responsible for their animals. Again, special mention is made for the vulnerable: slaves and children.


Prayer: Father, thank you for your law that brings justice and protects the vulnerable. Help me learn and practice your justice in my life.

One Word: God's law is just
