Topic: CROSSING SPIRITUAL BOUNDARY
Word: Deuteronomy 27:17
Cursed is anyone who moves their neighbor’s boundary stone.” Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
Here's My Take:
Intro:
Still from Christinscripture. com..
"Encroachment is when someone crosses a property line and uses someone else’s land for their own purpose. This could be building, cutting wood, or clearing. Sometimes it’s done by mistake—just not being aware of where the property lines are.
In 2021 a Belgian farmer, annoyed by a large stone that was in the way of his tractor, moved it out of the way. Unknown to him, that stone was set in 1819 and marked a portion of the boundary between Belgium and France. If someone hadn’t noticed, the boundary between the two countries would have been moved seven feet.
But people also encroach on others’ land intentionally. Willingly moving boundary markers amounts to stealing land. Today professional surveyors use advanced GPS technology, which makes it very difficult to take someone’s land. But in the ancient world it was quite easy to move a marker.
To be continued...
Conclusion:
Stones were sometimes moved slowly, a little at a time, to avoid detection. King Solomon repeated the command given in the Law of Moses: Do not move an ancient boundary stone or encroach on the fields of the fatherless…(Proverbs 23:10)
Song:
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
Prayer:
Father may we not get carried away to manipulate boundaries in Jesus Christ name. Amen.
