Top Highlights
“The fact that Lazarus has already been in the tomb for four days is significant. Ancient Jews believe that the souls of the dead hover near their bodies for three days, after which time they depart.” (Page 323)
“This verse echoes the ninth of the Ten Commandments: ‘You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor’ (Exodus 20:16). This command is critical to Israelite justice. Since this era lacks video surveillance, fingerprinting, and the ability to perform DNA testing, the legal system relies most heavily on eyewitness testimony.” (Page 347)
“God presents the Israelites with a choice: they can show the world what true justice looks like by their common life, or they can suffer at God’s hand the punishment that awaits those who ignore his justice, for he will not acquit the guilty.” (Page 349)
“Godly justice also is to affect one’s everyday treatment of neighbors.” (Page 348)
“our emotions can overwhelm us before God reveals his larger plan.” (Page 324)
