Day 36..."Ten Commandments and Ninety-Nine Percent Not Good Enough"
Exodus brings us the 10 Commandments. The first four deal with our relationship with God and the last six our neighbor. Exodus 21 is more complicated law. Can you imagine sorting out right and wrong prior to the 10 Commandments? Jesus will make all the laws less complicated with "love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength" and "your neighbor as yourself." Again this is following all ten commandments by relating properly to God and neighbor. The Psalmist says God's steadfast love is boundless..."Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds." In the Matthew reading today, ninety-nine percent is not good enough. The good shepherd goes to look for the one lost. We are all of great value to God. This is the good news of the Gospel... everyone is loved and of value...especially the children.

God comes down and talks to His people directly. There response is, "speak to someone else & we will hear him." I would much rather hear from God my self as well as through others. To hear God personally, is only available through Jesus, the one way to God. Maybe, this is why one must become as a child.
