A treaty between two parties, where promises are made Jesus Christ and the New Covenant and Law. The Last Supper and the new Covenant: Matthew 26:17-29 Why did God give us the law? Romans 7:7 What’s the purpose of the law? Galatians 3.19-29 How did Jesus summarize the Law? Break down the 10 commandments.
Matthew 22:34-40. God wants God’s family to be holy (set apart, clean, pure). Did the law make us holy? How are we holy? The Point: The Law is a gift from God to help us live full lives. Since we are sinners, no one can live up to it so Jesus came to establish a New Covenant with us through his death and resurrection.
MOSES AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS: REFLECTION Name:__________________________ Class Summary: God had a plan to create a nation through Abraham. Abraham followed God and lived faithfully, never receiving the promises of “Many descendants” (he had one son, Isaac) or “land” (he owned only the tomb his wife was buried in. Generations later, the Israelites were slaves in Egypt. God called Moses to lead his people out of Egypt and to the “Promised Land.” God gave the nation the “Ten Commandments” so their lives would be an example to the other nations. Jesus still calls us to live lives that show we are different and are examples to others. Scripture Memory Work: Psalm 1:1-3 Also, CONTINUE memorizing the books of the Bible.
