Old Testament
**************************************************************
Counting Coup
And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil. And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the Lord had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not. (1 Samuel 24:17-18)
The Native Americans have a long held tradition known as “Counting Coup”...
How this works, is a tracker would hunt down an enemy,
however instead of killing him he simply touches him with a weapon...
This is not a game.
The hunter must prove that he could really have killed the enemy before touching him...
The Bible holds the same tradition going all the way back to the
Old Testament…
God calls it Mercy…

New Testament
************************************************************
No Passports Required
The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. (Matthew 8:8-9)
Sometimes we miss the point here…
A centurion is a commander in the Roman military…
This man is in charge of one hundred Roman soldiers…
At this point in time the Romans and the Jews are sworn enemies…
It is obvious he had heard about the miracles Jesus had been doing…
He was risking everything by coming to Jesus and asking for help…
For a servant…
When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 8:10-11)
Once again Jesus is pointing out that there are no bounties between God and any of his children…
There are no passports required to get into Heaven…
