In the third commandment, God commands his people to refrain from lifting up his name in a way that dishonors him or belittles his infinite worth. In this sermon, we look at a few ways that we are guilty of this, but how Christ—who alone is guiltless—was counted guilty so that we can be counted as guiltless in him.

In the second commandment, God commands us not to form idols for worship. If you see idols as carvings made by hands, this may seem irrelevant to you. But we also see that idols are comforts made by hearts—something we’re all guilty of. To be redeemed and to kill the idols we’ve created, we need Jesus, the true image of God to replace our worthless objects of worship.

The first sermon in our Ten Commandments Series, this introduction lays the foundational argument for why these commandments are still relevant and beautiful for us us today, and how they relate to Jesus. Martin Luther said in his catechism on the Ten Commandments, “anyone who knows the ten commandments, perfectly knows the entire Scriptures.” That is a tall, yet insightful claim.
