Exodus 20

"I am the Lord your God...you shall..." vv.2-17

Read chapter 20
The chapter of the Ten Commandments. Can you say all the ten commandments and in order too?  In the gospels when Jesus is asked which is the greatest commandment He responds "the first... and the second..." The two that refer to relationships: love the Lord your God and love your neighbor.  We aren't held by the law to these commandments today as the Israelites were not only in the wilderness, but through hundreds of years that they were to practice the Mosaic Law.  Yet these commands are good to live by as God's desire for us to live in a way of honoring to Him.  It's also the base for how our U.S governmental law was formed.  So which commands are hard for you to carry out?  Which commands are the easiest broken today?  Why do you think the law of these ten commandments are no longer in place today?  Why do you think these ten commandments were chosen over all other types of rules that could've been put in place?
