          • Spirit and life of Goel

            Goel (Levirate marriage) in the bible is quite an unfamiliar system for us. It is a system that makes sure that the family takes care of their deceased brother’s family and business. To this extent, God wants to comfort the brother’s pain and bear the burdens together. Christ has also become the Goel for us who died for our sins and allowed us to inherit heaven instead of perishing forever.

            In our generation, there are many people who ignore this Goel spirit and live a self-centred life. Through God’s words today, He is asking whether we are living as a shameful Christian who only know ourselves also known as “the unsandaled”.

            Passage to read: Deuteronomy 25:1-10
            5 If brothers are living together and one of them dies without a son, his widow must not marry outside the family. Her husband’s brother shall take her and marry her and fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to her. 
            6 The first son she bears shall carry on the name of the dead brother so that his name will not be blotted out from Israel.
            7 However, if a man does not want to marry his brother’s wife, she shall go to the elders at the town gate and say, “My husband’s brother refuses to carry on his brother’s name in Israel. He will not fulfill the duty of a brother-in-law to me.” 
            8 Then the elders of his town shall summon him and talk to him. If he persists in saying, “I do not want to marry her,” 
            9 his brother’s widow shall go up to him in the presence of the elders, take off one of his sandals, spit in his face and say, “This is what is done to the man who will not build up his brother’s family line.” 
            10 That man’s line shall be known in Israel as The Family of the Unsandaled.

            1. Did you think of Jesus when you woke up this morning?
            2. What is God’s message to you?
            3. What do you need to obey?
            4. What are you grateful for today?
