Deuteronomy 21:23, "his body shall not remain overnight on the tree, but you shall surely bury him that day, so that you do not defile the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance; for he who is hanged is accursed of God."
â€â€Deuteronomy‬ â€21‬:â€23
Here is a man that is deserving of death and is hanged on a tree for what he has done. This is rather a gruesome image, but I guarantee you, the crime rate wasn't what it is today. Chapter 19:13 says to not have pity for this man. He deserves the punishment for his crime. God cursed people who committed capital crimes. The apostle Paul applied this truth to our Lord's death on the cross: "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree" (Gal. 3:13). Galatians 3:10 says that those who trust Christ cannot be condemned by the law. Praise the Lord, He became the curse for us. The innocent for the guilty! Wow! Praise the Lord! Thank you Jesus for this Holy Week.
