Advent Day 11: Peace
SECOND WEEK OF ADVENT – WEDNESDAY December 10, 2025
READ Exodus 20:1-17
Here we read the law of God given to Moses in the Ten Commandments.
REFLECT
Note that God first rescues the people from Egypt, and then he gives them the Ten Commandments. Keeping the Ten Commandments is not what saved them; God had already done that. God did not first give the Law and then deliver the people—first he delivered his people, and then he gave them the Law. Thus we are not saved by the Law, but saved for the Law. The Law is how we conduct our love relationship with God, not the way we merit the relationship. We are saved by faith in Christ’s substitutionary life and death alone.
PRAY
Thank God that he sent his Son, his only Son, to live and die for you.

This Month's Featured Book
Make Sense of Your Life with Jesus as King
In this book, Tim Keller goes to the Gospel of Mark and walks through it to help readers see how Jesus is at once cosmic, historical, and personal. As you read, you’ll discover that we can only make sense of our own life by looking at the life of Jesus.
