Each day of this devotional series, we will consider key moments in God’s glorious plan to redeem us. We will understand both the overarching story of God and the highlights of all He’s done for us in Christ.
We love or hate rules depending on whether they condemn us or justify us. When a law protects us, we heartily approve. When we break a law, we often resent it.
Moses seemed to love laws. He gave the nation of Israel over 600 laws, including the famous Ten Commandments. Those who read the entire Bible often get bogged down in Exodus and Leviticus. They get tired of Moses’ endless rules governing moral, civil and ceremonial conduct.
Yet these decrees reflect the character of God. His goodness, justice and righteousness come through each statute. The longest chapter in the Bible, Psalm 119, is King David’s extravagant love poem to the law of God.
If the nation of Israel had obeyed God’s laws, those laws would have made Israel distinct and different. Israel would have reflected His perfection and brought His glory to the nations. God promised that if His people followed His decrees, they would thrive, and if they didn’t, they would suffer. With sporadic exceptions, they failed to obey God. Yet that very failure signaled something about God’s ultimate redemptive plan.
The apostle Paul later explained how our failure to keep the law points to Jesus.
“Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.” – Romans 3:20-22, New International Version
God’s plan gave His people a lot of rules. The Law of Moses condemns us because we don’t live up to it. Yes, the law makes us aware of our failure, but if it also makes us aware of our need for a Savior, then it is a beautiful thing.
