Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Deuteronomy 30:11-20

Deuteronomy THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW Deu_30:11 - Deu_30:20 . This paragraph closes the legislation of this book, the succeeding chapters being in the nature of an epilogue or appendix. It sums up the whole law, makes plain its inmost essence and its tremendous alternatives. As in the closing strains of some great symphony, the themes which have run through the preceding movements are woven together in the final burst of music. Let us try to discover the component threads of the web. The first... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Deuteronomy 30:11-20

the Supreme Choice Deuteronomy 30:11-20 The immediate purpose of this passage is to encourage the people by reminding them that all things needful for a holy life are within their reach. Paul refers to it for the same purpose, Romans 10:6 . The love and grace of God are not concealed as hidden mysteries might be. There is no need to undertake a long and dangerous journey, like that which brought the eastern Magi to the manger-bed of Bethlehem. The Word of God, which is another name for our... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 30:1-20

Continuing his discourse, Moses uttered words thrilling at first with tenderness and urgent appeal. In the first ten verses of the chapter we have the long look ahead of love. He seems to have seen the people in the conditions which he had predicted must result from disobedience, scattered far off from their own land. He saw them, however, returning in spirit to God as the result of severe discipline. In view of this, he saw how ready God would ever be to receive and pardon them when they... read more

THE WISE CHOICE‘Therefore choose life.’ Deuteronomy 30:19 There is one choice which we must all make; and if that choice is once well made, it will very much secure all other choices, for the reason why we so often choose badly is because we have failed in that one great choice of all. I. ‘Therefore choose life.’—Why ‘therefore’? (1) Because the option rests with yourself. You are free to take which you will. (2) Because the alternative is tremendous, and there is no middle space; it must be... read more

The Choice Is Put To Them Between Life and Death (Deuteronomy 30:15-20 ). Analysis using the words of Moses: a See, I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil, in that I command you this day to love Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that Yahweh your God may bless you in the land to which you are going in to possess it (Deuteronomy 30:15-16). b But if your heart... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 30:1-20

CRITICAL NOTES.—Israel were rejected and exiled on account of apostacy, but not absolutely east off for ever. If they would return to the Lord he would turn his favour towards them again, and gather them out of dispersion.Deuteronomy 30:1-3. Mind, bethink themselves, not mere recollection, but consideration of their conduct and condition. Return (Deuteronomy 30:2) from idolatry to the service of Jehovah; in penitence and obedience. Thy captivity, Deuteronomy 30:3. Not to bring back the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 30:19-20

Deuteronomy 30:19-20 I. "I call heaven and earth to record against you," says Moses. This was no idle rhetorical formula. The open sky over his head was the witness and pledge of permanence, the sign that in the midst of perpetual change there is that which abides. The earth at his feet had been given to man that he might dress it and keep it, and bring food for his race out of it. The one said to man, "Thou art meant to look above thyself. Only in doing so canst thou find endurance,... read more
