Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Chapter by Chapter, Through the Bible, Expository and Devotional Comments, Vol. 4 of 4 Let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple. In calling the people to hearken to his message of coming judgment and everlasting mercy, Micah appeals to memory and conscience. He bases his appeal for repentance upon the fact of God´s unvarying goodness toward His people. His first and final argument is, that despite the idolatry into which Israel had lapsed God´s beneficence has never varied. The people have found no untrustworthiness in Him. They are utterly without excuse in regard to their wilful wandering; for not one thing has failed them of all that He promised to their fathers. And the objective witness of these facts is confirmed by the subjective witness of their own hearts. Hence the prophet´s appeal on the ground of the reasonableness of God´s coming judgment is unanswered because it is unanswerable. Against the bright background of the Divine righteousness human sin looks its blackest. God´s goodness is always the strongest condemnation of our transgression. For the most sinister aspect of wilful sin is that of ingratitude toward Him Who lavishes His gifts upon men and gives His best to the least worthy. Love is never so cruelly wounded as in the house of its friends; and when we repay Heaven´s tender mercies with indifference and contumacy we crucify the Son of God afresh. For it is in Him that all the goodness of God toward us meets. By Him the eternal riches are unlocked to us. And His witness against us, or for us, confirms our own choice and destiny.
