Looking Back on the 10 Commandments

All right, the Ten Commandments. Or the Ten Words, as God calls them. These are not ten rules to check off of a list. Right. These are ten ways to hear God's voice and wisdom that can lead us into a deeper, richer kind of life. Yeah. Also, these all invite us into thinking about the story of the Bible. Yes, it starts with who is the God of the Bible? Yeah, and then what does it mean that God made us to be His image? Right. Can I represent God faithfully while trusting that He will lead all creation to its completion? Yeah. And in the meantime, there's this bold vision for what it means to be human. Right. To honor those who have come before us, to preserve life, and to commit to love, and also to generosity. Using truth to protect the vulnerable, and then ultimately to align our desires with God's desire. Yeah, there it is. The Ten Words. Ten matters of cosmic importance that we can meditate on in our communities so that we can discover God's wisdom together.
