We’re
in the last portion of the 10 Commandments, and this week it’s #8 - "Do not steal." Ex. 20
This is
one of those things that everyone already knows. A thief, by definition,
exhibited behavior outside of society’s norms and God’s directions. But long
before the judge sentenced them, I believe that each of them knew stealing was
wrong. And even in prison, you don’t steal someone’s magazine, you don’t take
someone’s pen, and you sure don’t grab their cigarettes. That kind of behavior
could get you killed.
See?
Everyone, even those on the wrong side of the law, already knows God’s value
system. Stealing is wrong – God said so.
