Exodus 20:1-21
Some of us view the Ten Commandments like a “ladder” that we have to climb to reach God. Yet as we labor to climb it, we either collapse in guilt or puff up in legalism.

If we misunderstand the purpose of the law, we will misunderstand God’s character and our need for Christ.

In Exodus 20, God declared the Ten Commandments to the Israelites at Mount Sinai to establish a holy covenant of laws for His people whom He had already graciously redeemed.

In Exodus 14, Moses recorded how the LORD displayed His saving power by delivering His people through the sea, defeating their Egyptian enemies, and proving that He alone is the Redeemer who saves His covenant people. We can see how this story points to Christ as the Redeemer who saves His people.
