5/21 Exodus 4 and on

Sisters and Brothers,

Last week, Fr. Marvin let our study and talked about the ten commandments.

It is clear the 10 commandments are the very basic rules God want us to follow. During the time Jesus was with his disciples, he often cited these commandments as the requirement to enter the kingdom of God. Exodus chapter 20 lists them all
20:1-6, the Lord our God is the only true God to worship
20:7, shall not take the Lord in vain
20:8, keep sabbath day
20:12, honor your father and mother
20:13, not kill
20:14, not commit adultery
20:15, not steal
20:16, not bear false witness
20:17, not covet your neighbor's house
20:17, not covet your neighbor's wife and possessions

This week, we are continuing onto chapter 4. God pick Moses to free this people from Egypt. From the scripture, we see how God uses his power in the land of Egypt. Although God is merciful, thy is also determined. There is no way except God's way.

Let us dwell in these passage and try to understand God will in our daily life.

in Christ,
Dan

5/7 Exodus

Sisters and Brothers,

After finished book of Genesis last week, we are continuing into the book of Exodus. This is the second book of Pentateuch.

From Greek word, exodus means departure. The whole book is narrated in the departure of Israelite from Egypt. God uses Moses to deliver numerous miracles and have him to lead Israelite across Red Sea to Mount Sinai. In there, Israelite, the descendants of Jacob, entered a special covenant with the Lord.

Through Moses, God gave to the Israelite the law, ten commandments. By following these moral, civil, and ritual legislation, we will to become holy and the promise of Savior for all mankind would be fulfilled.

in Christ,
Dan
