mhcc@Genesis:9:4-7 @ Verse 4-7 -...it away unjustly, the murderer cannot...-doers, and they must not bear the sword in vain, Romans strkjv@13:4. Wilful murder ought always to be punished with death. To this law there is a reason added. Such remains of God's image are still upon fallen man, that he who unjustly kills a man, defaces the image of God, and does dishonour to him.

mhcc@Exodus:21:12-21 @ Verse 12-21 -...protects it. A wilful murderer shall...-stealing," the object of which is to force another into slavery, is ranked in the New Testament with the greatest crimes. Care is here taken, that satisfaction be made for hurt done to a person, though death do not follow. The gospel teaches masters to forbear, and to moderate threatenings, Ephesians strkjv@6:9,. considering with Job, What shall I do, when God riseth up? Job strkjv@31:13,14.

mhcc@Deuteronomy:21:1-9 @ Verse 1-9 - If a murderer could not be found out, great solemnity is provided for putting away the guilt from the land, as an expression of dread and detesting of that sin. The providence of God has often wonderfully brought to light these hidden works of darkness, and the sin of the guilty has often strangely found them out. The dread of murder should be deeply impressed upon every heart, and all should join in detecting and punishing those who are guilty. The elders were to profess that they had not been any way aiding or abetting the sin. The priests were to pray to God for the country and nation, that God would be merciful. We must empty that measure by our prayers, which others are filling by their sins. All would be taught by this solemnity, to use the utmost care and diligence to prevent, discover, and punish murder. We may all learn from hence to take heed of partaking in other men's sins. And we have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, if we do not reprove them.

mhcc@Proverbs:28:1 @ Verse 1 - Sin makes men cowards. Whatever difficulties the righteous meet in the way of duty, they are not daunted.2. National sins disturb the public repose.3. If needy persons get opportunities of oppressing, their extortion will be more severe than that of the more wealthy.4. Wicked people strengthen one another in wicked ways.5. If a man seeks the Lord, it is a good sign that he understands much, and it is a good means of understanding more.6. An honest, godly, poor man, is better than a wicked, ungodly, rich man; has more comfort in himself, and is a greater blessing to the world.7. Companions of riotous men not only grieve their parents, but shame them.8. That which is ill got, though it may increase much, will not last long. Thus the poor are repaid, and God is glorified.9. The sinner at whose prayers God is angry, is one who obstinately refuses to obey God's commands.10. The success of ungodly men is their own misery.11. Rich men are so flattered, that they think themselves superior to others.12. There is glory in the land when the righteous have liberty.13. It is folly to indulge sin, and excuse it. He who covers his sins, shall not have any true peace. He who humbly confesses his sins, with true repentance and faith, shall find mercy from God. The Son of God is our great atonement. Under a deep sense of our guilt and danger, we may claim salvation from that mercy which reigns through righteousness unto eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord.14. There is a fear which causes happiness. Faith and love will deliver from the fear of eternal misery; but we should always fear offending God, and fear sinning against him.15. A wicked ruler, whatever we may call him, this scripture calls a roaring lion, and a ranging bear.16. Oppressors want understanding; they do not consult their own honour, ease, and safety.17. The murderer shall be haunted with terrors. None shall desire to save him from deserved punishment, nor pity him.

mhcc@Matthew:13:1-23 @ Verse 1-23 -...he is the great murderer of...6:8. Worldly cares are great hinderances to our profiting by the word of God. The deceitfulness of riches does the mischief; they cannot be said to deceive us unless we put our trust in them, then they choke the good seed. What distinguished the good ground was fruitfulness. By this true Christians are distinguished from hypocrites. Christ does not say that this good ground has no stones in it, or no thorns; but none that could hinder its fruitfulness. All are not alike; we should aim at the highest, to bring forth most fruit. The sense of hearing cannot be better employed than in hearing God's word; and let us look to ourselves that we may know what sort of hearers we are.
