Micah 3:1 KJV
And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob,
and ye princes of the house of Israel
Though there are many differences
between the passages, this reminds me of 1 Corinthians 6. People who have the
Word of God ought to be capable of sound and equitable judgment. It is much to
the discredit of a people who, having the privileges and tools God has placed
at our disposal, refuse to use those tools and privileges, or else abuse them.
The Jews had so many
advantages having possessed the oracles of God. Yet the testimony of their
history is that they fell into the sins of the lost around them. Having the
Word of God they tended to think of themselves more highly than they ought to
have. Yet refusing to obey the Word of God they were culpable to a greater
degree than those whom they despised.
Such is the warning if the
Apostle to Christians.
- With the advantages we
possess
- With the promises we
are awaiting
- With the Word of God,
now complete
no people are more
responsible for sound judgment than are we.
