We will see how the first and the last commandments serve as “bookends” to the law. Both of these commandments expose the real problem of sin. It was this tenth commandment Jesus used in exposing the heart of the rich young ruler in Luke 18. This commandment calls us to christian contentment in light of the gospel.
Scripture Reading: Exodus 20:17, Luke 18: 18-30, Psalm 16
We will ask these four questions concerning the tenth commandment:
1. What is forbidden?
2. What are the duties required?
3. How has Jesus fulfilled this commandment?
4. How can we begin to live this commandment in Christ?
