DEUTERONOMY 34

I. LIFE’S
LESSONS [v. 1-4]
1. God’s
People Sin [v. 1-4, 1 Jn. 1:8-10]
-If we say
that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we
confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make
him a liar, and his word is not in us.
2. Sin has
Consequences [v. 4, Gal. 6:7, Num. 32:23]
-Be not
deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also
reap.
-be sure
your sin will find you out.
3. God has
Compassion [v. 1-3, Ps. 103:13-14]
-Like as a
father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. For he
knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
II. MYSTERIES
OF MOSES [v. 5-8]
1. Who Wrote
of His Death? [v. 4-5, 2 Pt. 1:21]
For the
prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as
they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
2. Where was
He Buried? [v. 6-7, Ps. 90:12, Lk. 9:28-31, Jude 9 (Satan limited), Rev.
11:3ff]
-So teach us
to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
-And it came
to pass about an eight days after these sayings , he took Peter and John and
James, and went up into a mountain to pray. And as he prayed, the fashion of
his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering. And,
behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: Who appeared
in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
3. How Long
is Long Enough? [v. 8, Eccl. 3:4, 1 Th. 4:13]
-A time to
weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
-But I would
not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that
ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
III. DEATH’S
LESSONS [v. 9-12]
1. No One is
Irreplaceable [v. 9, Acts 13:36]
-For David,
after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and
was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
2. The
Servant is Not above the Master [v. 10, Mt. 10:24, Heb. 3:1-5]
- The
disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
- Wherefore,
holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High
Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was faithful to him that appointed
him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. For this man was counted
worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath
more honour than the house. For every house is builded by some man; but he that
built all things is God. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a
servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
3. The Will
of God is Paramount [v. 11-12, Rm. 12:2, Eph. 6:6, 1 Pt. 4:1-2, 19]
- And be not
conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
- Not with
eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of
God from the heart;
- Forasmuch
then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with
the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of
men, but to the will of God.
- Wherefore
let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their
souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
