THE TEN COMMANDMENTS~ WAS IT REALLY ABOUT THE LAW?
Recently my wife, Amy, and I had an appointment with our attorney to sign some important papers regarding our will. As we sat in the conference room waiting for our attorney, I couldn’t help but to notice all the law books on the bookshelves. These shelves went from the floor to the ceiling and there was not an empty space on the shelves. We were literally surrounded by laws. I turned to Amy and said, “Can you believe what started as God’s ten commandments has turned into this? There must be thousands of laws here.” When our attorney and his paralegal joined us, I took the opportunity to open up a conversation about the Lord by sharing how it seems as though we have taken The Lord ‘s Ten Commandments and stretched them. What was written on two stone tablets, by the finger of God, now fills books and covers entire walls of rooms. I began thinking … what was the purpose of the law in the first place?
