Leviticus 24:19
Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner:
Shalom sdr, my devotion today, Sun, Jan. 31, SAME (Lev. 24:19). The consequence of sin is very serious. It is never underestimated. God has made laws concerning the trespasses, blasphemers, sinners, criminals and so forth. But it has to be performed carefully.
a. It has to be done according to the law.
There should be a clear broken law. What is the charge? What is the mistake? What is the sin?
b. It has to be done by the authorities.
The consequence or the punishment has to be given in the court publicly. It is pronounced before people by the judge. No man can play judge. No man may apply the law by himself.
c. It has to be done once.
Many times, the consequence is not applied at all or applied too many times. It means that the sinner is freed without the consequence or he has to undergo the consequence too heavy. Yes, a sinner has to be punished. But it has to be applied once. The consequence has to be the same. Not too light. Not too heavy. ASH.
