The 10 Commandments

Read Proverbs 15:1-16

Read Exodus 20

For our devotion and meditation today we have a few stanzas from Luther's hymn on the ten commandments, "These are the Holy Ten Commands."

That man a godly life might live,
God did these Ten Commandments give
By His true servant Moses, high
Upon the Mount Sinai.
Have mercy, Lord!

God these commandments gave therein
To show thee, child of man, thy sin
And make thee also well perceive
How man unto God should live.
Have mercy, Lord!

Help us, Lord Jesus Christ, for we
A Mediator have in Thee.
Our works cannot salvation gain;
They merit but endless pain.
Have mercy, Lord!

Thanks be to God that our Savior fulfilled God's commands though we could not, and redeemed us with his blood. Thanks be to God.

Study with me tomorrow,

Pastor Jon

Soli Deo Gloria!
