Exodus 20:17 - The Tenth Commandment

"You shall not covet..."

We've worked through the laws given to Moses, which open our eyes and reveal the sin within us. This week, we come to the last of the ten commandments, looking at the desires of the flesh and how they pull us away from God.

Throughout the Bible, we see a recurring struggle: the desire for earthly riches, the pursuit of self-satisfaction, and the battle within our own sinful hearts. But this isn't the story God intended for us. Instead, He calls us to turn away from our sinful hearts and receive His grace.

This story is seen in the image of a tree. In the beginning, humanity chose the wrong tree (the knowledge of good and evil) and ultimately fell into sin. At the center stands another tree, the cross, where Jesus bore the pain of that sin. And in the end, we see the tree of life restored, bearing fruit and offering healing to all nations.

What was lost in the beginning has been made whole again through Christ. Believe in Jesus, follow Him and become satisfied in Him today.
