Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.  Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.  And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.  So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.  Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
Numbers 35:30-34

God is grieved by the bloodshed that was happening in the world back thousands of years ago; and He is still grieved by it.  We are talking about premeditated murder, not accidental or self defense.

The Ten Commandments has the sixth commandment,  “You shall not kill (murder).”

Now, the verses above tells us that God is telling them what to do with the murderer, “He shall surely be put to death.”  This commandment is in the category of “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”  Should I ask?  Who among us wants to be murdered?  I would dare to say, “Not a one of us,”  therefore we ought to love the way we would want to be loved.

The one who murders defiles the land, and there is no cleansing of the land, except by the death of the one who has murdered the innocent.

Jesus Christ was hanged on a cross, unjustly, He was guilty of none of the charges brought against Him.  This was a murder of the worst sort.  But Jesus did this, offering Himself as a sacrifice for sin.  We should have been the ones who hanged there, and died a slow and miserable death; but Jesus did, then He was buried in a borrowed stone tomb, and He rose again.

Our sin debt- your sin debt was paid in full;

Our sins were carried away, and cast as far away from  us as far as east is from west;

With our sins forgiven, we must repent and receive this marvelous gift of God’s grace, and we receive eternal life.  His resurrection is our assurance that we will be forever with Him.
