Discovering Justice and Mercy

In this episode, we review Joshua chapter 20 which reveals God's instructions to establish cities of refuge, serving as safe havens for those who have accidentally caused harm. These cities ensured that justice was served fairly, protecting individuals from revenge until a proper trial could determine their fate.

Key Highlights:

1. Protection and Safety: Cities of refuge provided a sanctuary from immediate retaliation, preventing blood feuds and promoting peace.
2. Fair Trials: They guaranteed a fair trial to distinguish accidental harm from intentional acts, upholding justice and fairness.
3. Community Responsibility: Reflecting the communal duty to maintain order and mercy, these cities were a cornerstone of societal harmony.
