This sermon, Lessons From the Wilderness: The Law and the Lamb, explores God’s covenant through the lens of His standard, His heart, and His mercy. The Ten Commandments are not just a list of rules, but a mirror that reveals our need for transformation. Jesus intensifies the standard by focusing not only on our actions, but on our inner motives and desires, calling us to become new people. While in Exodus the guilty drink the bitterness of their rebellion, the Gospels reveal that Jesus—the innocent Lamb—drinks the cup of sin on our behalf, embodying God’s mercy and substitutionary love.
