35:1-36:13 - Cities
of refuge were provided for those who had killed someone accidentally.
This is a good illustration of fleeing to Christ for refuge. He is our
‘strong tower.’ We ‘run’ to Him and we are ‘safe’ (Hebrews 6:18;
Proverbs 18:10). God gave Israel
a ‘land’. They were not to ‘defile the land’ (34). God has given us a
Saviour. We are not to dishonour Him. Christ is our ‘inheritance’. Our
full enjoyment of Him is still to come (36:2-4, 7-9,12; Ephesians 1:18;
Colossians 3:24; 1 Peter 1:4). How can we enjoy our Saviour more fully? -
‘These are the commandments...’ (36:13). The names change. The places
change. The principle remains the same: Obedience to God. We have been
redeemed by God. Let us live in obedience to Him. There is nothing more
important than this - if we really want to enjoy His blessing.
