This morning we consider the Lord’s giving of the Ten Commandments to the people through Moses. For long ages, these words have served as a summary of God’s moral law, as we see in their expansion in Exodus and Deuteronomy, and Jesus’ summary of them in the two great commandments. Join us as we discuss their setting, their division, and their application, with special reference to the second commandment and Moses’ expansion at the end of the chapter. See, too, how the people request—and the Lord provides—a mediator to shield them from God’s terrifying presence and bring God’s word to them.
