Roads for fast travel Clear of rubble and holes Signs pointing the way to refuge Levitical cities that were hospitable to all City elders would investigate each case. Only the innocent were granted entrance. The person remained safe inside. The person was subject to death if they left the city before the high priest died.

The guilt?—responsible for taking life The embarrassment?—leaving home. BUT—there would be a new livelihood. Can You Imagine? BUT—there would be new neighbors. BUT—there would be peace and security. NO ONE THERE WOULD STAND ALONE

We are the “Son of Man”-Slayers Who killed Jesus? The Jews, Gentiles, Herod, or Pilate? It was the Plan of God! (Acts 4:27,28). He bore our sins! (1 Cor. 15:3; 1 Pt. 2:24). WE KILLED JESUS! His blood should be on our hands

We are the “Son of Man”-Slayers Who killed Jesus? WE KILLED JESUS! His blood should be on our hands

The Wrath of God is Upon Us Vengeance belongs to God (Dt. 32:35; Jn. 3:36). God would not be righteous if He had no wrath (Rom. 3:5). Jesus gave pardon and satisfied God’s wrath against murder (Lk. 23:34; 1 Jn. 2:2). But through our sins we are still MANSLAYERS!

The Road to Refuge is Paved The road to refuge is simple (Mt. 7:13,14; Is. 35:8). God desires that everyone would have refuge (1 Thess. 5:9; Tit. 2:11; 2 Pt. 3:9). The impenitent, however, store up wrath by not traveling the road (Rom. 2:5). Salvation is available now! FLEE FOR REFUGE!

The Gate to Refuge is Open Jesus said He would give refuge (Jn. 6:37; 10:9). We have access by faith through Jesus Christ (Rom. 5:2; Col. 3:3). By being immersed into Christ we enter Jesus’ refuge (Jn. 3:5; Acts 2:38-47; 1 Cor. 12:13; 6:9-11). Cross the threshold of Christ by IMMERSION!

The Place of Refuge is a Sanctuary There are blessings and benefits in refuge: No one is in danger (Rom. 5:9; Rom. 8:1; Heb. 7:25). No one is a stranger (Eph. 2:19; 2 Pt. 2:9). It is a city of fellowship where refugees COEXIST IN PEACE! No one is a foreigner (Heb. 12:22,23; Phil. 3:20). No one stands alone (1 Jn. 1:7).

The Place of Refuge is a Sanctuary There are blessings and benefits in refuge. It is a city of fellowship where refugees COEXIST IN PEACE!

The Safety of Refuge is Conditional In the city there is encouragement to hold fast to hope (Heb. 6:18; 3:12-14). Withdrawing from the city makes one vulnerable to wrath (Heb. 6:6; 10:26-31). Having refuge does not stop the wrath of God anymore than a house stops the rain (2 Pt. 2:20,21). The righteousness of Christ demands REMAIN IN REFUGE!
