The 10 Commandments Part 1

Many of us know the Ten Commandments, if not by heart, then in practice. What we may not know, however, is their purpose.

The Ten Commandments are not just a list of laws telling us what and what not to do in order to please God. These words are a love letter from God in which God shows us clearly how we are intended to live; in joy, safety, respect and within divine embrace.

God begins these words by declaring, “I am yours and this is what our life together can look like.” God also reminds us that God is the one who brings us out of all bondage so that we are free to live fruitful, joyful lives with God and in safe sacred communities.

O Gracious God, your love for us is complete. Your desire for us is joyful freedom from every bondage. We thank you! Amen
