Jesus Restored What He Didn’t Take

 “then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,”

‭‭Leviticus‬ ‭6‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

God spoke to Moses: “When anyone sins by betraying trust with God by deceiving his neighbour regarding something entrusted to him, or by robbing or cheating or threatening him; or if he has found something lost and lies about it and swears falsely regarding any of these sins that people commonly commit—when he sins and is found guilty, he must return what he stole or extorted, restore what was entrusted to him…He must make full compensation, add twenty percent to it, and hand it over to the owner on the same day he brings his Compensation-Offering.”  David received a revelation of the Messiah in this psalm.  “They that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: Then I restored that which I took not away.”  Jesus made compensation restoration by that which He took not away.  God is not the author of evil, the devil is.  God in Christ gave back everything we lost, through His Blood Offering and the finished work of the Cross, and totally defeated the devil.  We must never attribute to God what the devil does.  Amen!
