The camel is an unclean animal. The Hebrews did not eat it because it didn’t have a separated hoof. The camel is a symbol of a judge. [v 1] |

Being an unclean animal doesn't mean that judges are bad. It just means that they teach us something that God doesn't want us to learn. |

Many people see God as a great and terrible judge. But he judged all of our sins on the cross of Jesus and forgave us to show that he is also love. When you are forgiven, there is no more judgement. [1] |

God's teachers teach his love, the Gospel, by showing his forgiveness through the cross. He doesn't want us to become judges. He wants us to forgive as he has forgiven. [1] |

Jesus told a story about a man who owed a lot of money to a king. [1] He could never pay it back. When the king forgave him his debt, he put his neighbor in prison for owing him just a little money. |

The man was shown great love through forgiveness, but then became a judge who had none. The king threw the man in prison for not also forgiving. |
