The Ten Commandments
And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant…and had respect unto them (Exodus 2:24-25).
Moses grew up as the adopted son of Pharaoh’s daughter with all the privileges and training of royalty. As the years went by and he witnessed the oppression of his people, he determined to lead them out of their bondage into a better life—their Promised Land. We are told “that their cry went up to God” (Exodus 2:24) and God Himself led them safely through their wilderness. Then at the time of their uncertainty, their moral laxness and emotional confusion, He gave Moses certain basic rules of life, which we still know as the Ten Commandments.
The Ten Commandments at their face value are true and valid, but that is only the beginning. If people are going to escape from the continuous strife and struggle of life, they must have something more. So within these commandments he concealed the deeper laws for those who were ready for them. And within those again, he concealed the deepest and highest spiritual teaching for those who were ready for that.
In other words, Moses designed these laws of life so that the higher we go spiritually, or the deeper we go intellectually, the more we can get out of them.
“For he who as eyes to see and ears to hear…”. God’s truth is revealed to us as we are prepared to receive it. As we search for truth and higher consciousness (closeness to God), we gain greater understanding of God’s laws. As we gain understanding, more is given to us. It is only through sincere seeking that we find deeper truth and spiritual growth.”Seek, and ye shall find”.
Still seeking,
