Moses's Seat — Ministers

The judgment seat is yours. “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat” (Matthew 23:2) — and here the cases of the Law are brought before you as they were brought to the gate: a stolen ox, a goring beast, a slayer fled to refuge, a witness whose word would hang a man. Four sentences are laid before you for every cause. Choose the one the Law itself prescribes — no softer, no harder, and never bought. Some causes test the judge before they test the law: a gift, a great man’s frown, a poor man’s tears, a matter too deep for you. “Ye shall not respect persons in judgment… for the judgment is God’s” (Deuteronomy 1:17). Every verdict shows the statute in full, word for word from the King James text. Change level
