Deuteronomy 5:22-23

A nice short reading this morning about Moses delivering the 10 Commandments to God’s people. 

The preceding verses actually contain the Commandments (as does Exodus 20) but the Deuteronomic writers were expressing something different her. In the Exodus version, the fourth Commandment invites the faithful person is to remember the Sabbath: in this version he/she is to observe the Sabbath. 
What’s the difference? Well I remember many things but do I engage with them? No. We can always remember Sunday is a holy day (from the golf course, for example) but to observe Sunday as being somehow special means to engage with what that being special means. Moses, earlier in this chapter, was telling this new generation of Israelites, God made a covenant ‘with them’ not just their forefathers and it was a binding covenant (contract).  God would be their God, if they would be God’s people and that meant living by the Commandments given by God. 

The 10 Commandments, one of the foundational documents for a safe society, yet all too often overlooked.
