Heart Prep for Sunday, May 15th

Well, we’re wrapping up the Ten Commandments this week.  We’ll close out the commandments with “Do Not Covet.”  What does it mean to covet?  The dictionary defines coveting as “greatly desire,” meaning to “wish, long, or crave for (something, especially the property of another person).”

But this commandment isn’t just about wanting something that’s not ours, it also serves as a summary command for the whole of the Ten Commandments.  That means it’s connected to each of the other commandments.  Some of those are easy to see as stealing (8th Commandment) is usually preceded by coveting.  But it’s harder to see the connections with some of the other commands. 

So, this Sunday, we’ll be in Deuteronomy 25:5-26:19, and we’ll be looking at a bunch of laws where it’s harder to see the connections.  But they’re there and they reveal the whole law to us.  And, as we’ll see, the law can be our friend … or our enemy.  Should be interesting.  See you Sunday, Dr. Dave
