THE TENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS

Ten Lords a Leaping, that was an easy one!!! The Ten Lords represent the Ten Commandments, of course. 1) You shall have no other gods before Me; 2) Do not make an idol; 3) Do not take God's name in vain; 4) Remember the Sabbath Day; 5) Honor your father and mother; 6) Do not murder; 7) Do not commit adultery; 8) Do not steal; 9) Do not bear false witness; and 10) Do not covet. (Exodus 20:1-17)
In my mind, the Ten Commandments were the most profound and far reaching of all teachings. If you read them, you will find that they are all encompassing. In ten sentences, the Lord covered everything we need to be moral, honest, and well behaved in every aspect of our lives. They are the Divine Laws, the Inspired Rules, and the Moral Standards that all human laws have been derived from. In actuality, if all mankind simply followed the Ten Commandments to a tee, there would be no need for any further laws. I find that amazing. Contemplate this, check your Bibles, think about what each Commandment says to you. Follow them if you can, they are the keys to living the great life that God has blessed us with. Soon it will be Christmas, and the New Covenant, and Jesus, the Son of God will give us the keys to Heaven. He will tell us, " I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIGHT, NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER, EXCEPT THROUGH ME." Amen
