引言：

诗篇89:14 公义和公平是你宝座的根基，慈爱和信实行在你前面。

1.处理悬疑凶杀案（V1-9）

面对悬疑的凶杀案，以色列当时离死尸最近一城的领袖就要出来用未曾负轭母牛犊来赎罪，也表明自己城邑百姓的无辜。这样利未人就为他们祝福，也代表说留无辜人血的罪不归到他们的身上。今天我们作为新加坡的基督徒，要拿起祭司的权柄，来为新加坡赎罪，并为新加坡宣告祝福。

2.迎娶被掳的女子（V10-14）

以色列民若是要娶争战中掳掠过来的非迦南女子，就要确保他们愿意归化进入犹太民族。日后若是不喜悦她，就要补偿她，再让她离开。这代表说这样的女子也是有尊严的，神不要以色列民恶待她。

3.勿以私爱废长子（V15-17）

在神公平的法则下，以色列的男丁不可因为偏爱某位妻子的缘故，而改换长子的次序。

4.对待悖逆的儿子（V18-21）

在律法的标准下，一切悖逆不听父母的儿子就要被治死。今天耶稣基督救赎我们，超越了律法，使得我们不至于在律法下被定罪和处死。然而神的心意并没有改变，就是祂渴望我们都来要成为顺服的人。

5.被挂尸首不过夜（V22-23）

犯了死罪而被治死的人，虽会被挂在木头上警示活着的人，但是一定要在当天就拿下来，将他埋葬，免得污秽神所赐给百姓的应许之地。

总结：

今天耶稣基督救赎我们，使得我们不再活在律法之下，然而神律例典章下公平公义的法则并没有改变，祂渴望祂的百姓能够公义正直，尊重神所创造的每一个人，在处理各样的事务中也不可因着偏心而偏离公正。

同时让我们也再次来纪念被挂在木头上的耶稣基督为我们承担了咒诅，使得我们能够领受到神的祝福。也因着基督的爱，我们就都要脱离一切的悖逆，而进入到顺服的生命中！

Deuteronomy 21: A Just And Righteous Mode Of Living
GK611 Morning Devotion

Speaker: IP Moses Ou + Rev David Tan

Introduction:

Psalm 89:14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face.

1. Handling Suspicious Murders (V1-9)

In the face of a suspicious murder, When confronted with the suspicion of murder, the leader of the nearest city in Israel had to come forward to atone for the death of the dead body with a calf that had not been yoked,and to show the innocence of the people of their city. In this way, the Levites blessed them and said that the sin of keeping the blood of the innocent would not be imputed to them. Today, as Christians in Singapore, we are to take up our priestly authority to atone for Singapore's sins and to pronounce a blessing on Singapore.

2. Marry the Captive Women (V10-14)

If the people of Israel were to marry a non-Canaanite woman who had been taken captive in the war, they were to make sure that they would be willing to naturalise into the Jewish nation. If they are not pleased with her in the future, they are to make amends and let her go again. This means that such a woman also has dignity, and God does not want the people of Israel to treat her badly.

3. Don't Waste the Firstborn with Personal Love (V15-17)

Under God's fair law, the male children of Israel were not to change the order of their firstborn sons because of a preference for one wife.

4. Treatment of Disobedient Sons (V18-21)

Under the standard of the law, all rebellious sons who disobeyed their parents were to be put to death. Today Jesus Christ has redeemed us from condemnation and death under the law by going beyond the law. However, God's heart has not changed, and it is His desire that we all come to be obedient.

5. Hanging a Corpse Without a Night (V22-23)

Although a person who has committed a capital crime and is put to death will be hung on a log as a warning to the living, he must be taken down the same day and buried, lest he defile the promised land that God has given to the people.

Conclusion:

Today Jesus Christ redeems us so that we no longer live under the law, yet the law of justice under God's statutes and regulations has not changed. He desires that His people be just and righteous, respecting each and every one of God's creatures, and not deviating from justice in all matters through partiality.
