About this episode
This episode continues the introduction to the Ten Commandments, discussing their significance in God's Covenant and the implications for Christian discipleship.
In this lesson we continue the introduction to the Ten Commandments. This is God's Covenant and He shows us that the life of His people, the life of those He enter the covenant, is a life far different than perhaps what we may have learned. We may have learned that we need to live a balanced life. We need to put things in their proper perspective and not anything in our life should become so high a priority that it tilts the balance. The church of Rome after it disconnected from its Jews roots, seemingly incorporated aspects of Greek philosophy. Aristotle was the big proponent of a balanced life. He said if you live such a life you will be happy. This is not what the Lord wants. When He gave Israel and us the Ten Commandments, actually עשׂרת הדברים Aseret HaDevareem, the Ten Statements (words), He was also teaching us that if we are truly a disciple of Jesus we will NOT live a balanced life. So, God gives עשׂרת הדברים Aseret HaDevareem, His Ten Statements. Who was the targeted audience? Just the Hebrews only? If so why has the church taken them on? We are taught that Jesus did away with the "old" covenant. Huh? That means according to God's word, the very words of God Himself…
