Punishment and result

Father said to son, "son, do not go this way. On this road I saw a big pit. This is a dangerous road. I will beat you if you take this road"

Feared to the punishment son replied, "ok, dad I will not go this way."

Yet, son's heart wanted to see the pit there. He wanted to find a chance to go on that road. There came a day that his dad is not around. So the son took his bicycle and went on this dangerous road. Suddenly he fell down into the pit. He broke his leg.

Then he heard a voice, "my son." Son lifted up his head and saw his dad. His father had tears in his eyes. Son said, "sorry dad." His dad came down and saved his son.

Lying on the hospital bed son asked,"are you not going to punish me dad?"

Father replied, "my son, I am not going to punish you. I forgive you. Nevertheless, I want you to know that the punishment for your disobedience has stopped but the result of your disobedience was not stopped. It broke your leg."

Ex. 22:1-4 You will never lose

A thief ran into a house. He took a sheep and a bull. He left the house, walked for a while and then sold the bull and killed the sheep and ate. Now he is worthy of 6 kinds of Judgments.(Exodus 22:1-4)
1. Can be killed
2. Can be beaten
3. Can be sold
4. Return what he stole
5. Return two fold
6. Return four fold

One sin and six punishments?

No. Any of those six, depends on the time you caught him. First 3 are punishments and the next 3 are restitution. First three are paid to the one who harmed you and next three are paid by the one who harmed you.

God loves you. He is the judge. He will never let the thief Satan steal from you. Even if you lose anything, God will make a restitution.

Egyptians thought that they got free slaves. God gave them punishments with ten plagues and let them make restitution by giving silver and gold.

The thief Satan took 7000 sheep from Job. God gave 14000. Thief took 3000 camels and God gave 6000. Job 42:12

If you lose anything and you think its late. More late more restitution. It increases.

God might sometimes forgive those who hurt you and cease the punishment but he never stop restitution. Example is here in Exod 21:18 [KJV])

"And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed: If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed."
Laban took 20 years of hard work from Jacob and thought he was brilliant. He was not punished but at the end God gave him more that even Laban's sons said, “Jacob has taken everything that belonged to our father!...” Gen. 31:1

You will never lose. You have a God who loves you.
