How- I 1! FUTURE OUTLOI THIS WEEK'S BEGINNING WHERE YOU ARE The decent, well-behaved citizen should be able to live his entire life wiout being directly involved with the law?unless he gets a traffic ticket or is called for jury duty. Actually, however, we are all more caught up in the law than we imagine. How true this is can be demonstrated by a thoughtful reading of any issue of a metropolitan newspaper. Htre, for example, are a few of one day's stories: "Mayor and governor to meet on budget asking for transit authority." "Crime Commission asks for legislation on radical campus groups." "Pollution foes ask U.S. aid." "Supreme Court OKs state gambling law." .rvi cxinecis urge reiorm in zoning code." "Housing court only slaps slum landlords on the wrist, report says." "Contract home buyers ask court for relief." In short, whether he knows it or not, every citizen is involved in a structure of law that surrounds and shapes his life. It restrains the absolute freedom of his life and property, but at the same time it protects him from the intrusion of others. As a Christian citizen, ho is bound to ask what the Bible has to say about his life under law. SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES The Scripture for this lesson is Deuteronomy 16:18-20; 17:811; Daniel 6; Acts 4:13-20; 1 Peter 2:13-17. Selected verses are printed below. Acts 4:13-20 13 Now when they saw the Boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they wondered; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus. 14 But seeing the man that had' been healed standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition. 15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they I conferred with one another, 16< saying, "What shall we do with I these men?

A leI gal system of laws and courts r is part of God's provision for his Q people. It is God's will that men y should love one another and y live in right relations.

Tor ? protection the people lived in walled villages and cities from which they went out to work 8 their fields. A council of elders exercised authority and met in r the shelter of the city gate. 8 These were the judges before B whom any citizen with a grieve ance was entitled to come seek8 ing justice. The body of law 1 that guided them was the unwritten tradition and such for8 mal law is found in Deuteron? omy itself. (For example, see r Deuteronomy 19 for regulations ' covering homicide and proper ? tp.ctimnnv Deuteronomy 17:8-11. This passage provides for a kind of * "Supreme Court" to handle cases too difficult for the local councils of elders. Such cases might involve the distinction between murder and manslaughter or t between theft and embezzles ment. t This tribunal was established 1 at the central shrine and was 2 composed of priests and laymen. The case was regarded as lf being heard "before the Lord," r and the verdict was the Lord's C verdict. Therefore the decision . was final, and any person who , I did not accept it was put to x death. The severity of this pun> ishment suggests that, in biblical thought, ai disagreements , are to be hanoi' rl within the r legal system. No man can take the? law intra ?ics 1 3 ...-W --J II Hrtllllft. Daniel 6. Oi r thi cl Scripture I px--ago is the i imiliar and dran.ntic storv of Daniel's defiance i ox a law of King D.irius. This 1 chapter poses the question of | an unjust law or of conflict bei tween man's law and God's re: quirements. t That the law was unjust we cannot doubt. It was enacted by the connivance of jealous men to dispose of a rival for political power. It infringed the area of interior religious life where no law should go. We also notice that Daniel's defiance did not harm anyone. Even the king did not feel that Daniel's act damaged him in any way. The issue is clearly, What shall a devout man do when the state legislates in the area of his life with God? Daniel's answer was, He shall continue his faithful obedience of God's will and (Continued on Paje 7)
