3 New Beginnings and 3 Same Old Ends
Three new beginnings. Three husbands and and wives collude and sin. Three times there is death. Three times something is hidden. In the first, people are hidden. In the second, dedicated goods are hidden. In the third, a price is hidden. In the deaths, the first is spiritual and slow lasting a lifetime by taking away what sustained life. The second is commuted by the entire community. The third is instantaneous and the “punishment miracle” is performed by God. The Bible keeps telling the same stories over and over, and here we find Adam and Eve, Achan and wife and family, and Ananias and Sapphira reliving the deception and dying. Three new beginnings and three same old ends.
