What can we learn from the seemingly outdated commands in Exodus about stolen sheep and oxen? In this sermon, learn how God’s law teaches us about his just character by revealing how rescue and redemption triumph over punishment and revenge.

A Journey of Deliverance:
Punishment vs. Rescue; Revenge vs. Redemption
Exodus 22:1-15

I. General theft
II. A careless neighbor
III. Borrowing or caring for our neighbors property

What we learn about Justice from Exodus 22:1-15:
1. The Bible promotes private property ownership and the right to protect that property
2. The Bible is giving us application of Lex Talionis
3. The Bible promotes laws being enforced in proportion to the amount of guilt
4. The Bible commands Christians to seek rescue for the victim and redemption for the assailant
