These passages give God’s laws regarding crime and punishment.  While in today’s society, they may seem cruel; God’s laws were not.  God addresses a variety of crimes with punishment according to their severity.  It is the very idea behind our criminal justice system today.   Is God justifying ‘an eye for an eye’ in these passages? Did God make provisions for intention and accidental harm to others? In this passage, does God provide for mercy? How did Jesus himself, experience injustice?  How did the injustice imposed upon Jesus, lead to mercy for us? Have you experienced injustice?  Recall how God took care of you.  How can we replace vengeance for wrongdoing on us with mercy and leave justice to God?
