Deuteronomy 21:18-23 –
If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who
does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they
discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him
to the elders at the gate of his town. They shall say to the elders, “This
son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton
and a drunkard.” Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You
must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be
afraid. If someone guilty of a capital offense is put to death and their
body is exposed on a pole, you must not leave the body hanging on the pole
overnight. Be sure to bury it that same day, because anyone who is
hung on a pole is under God’s curse. You must not desecrate the land
the Lord your God is
giving you as an inheritance.
Jeremiah
5:23 – But these
people have stubborn and rebellious hearts; they have
turned aside and gone away.
Exodus
20:12 – “Honor your father and your
mother, so that you may live long in
the land the Lord your God is giving you.
Mark 14:64 – “You
have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?” They all condemned him as
worthy of death.
Application:
- · Though the sea never crosses its divinely appointed boundaries, God’s people have violated the limits He has set for them.
- · Honor means (1) prize highly, (2) care for, (3) show respect for, and (4) obey.
- · Blasphemy not only involved reviling the name of God but also included any affront to His majesty or authority. Jesus’ claim to be the Messiah and, in fact, to have majesty and authority belonging only to God was therefore regarded by Caiaphas as blasphemy, for which the Mosaic law prescribed death by stoning.
