we learned the first of God’s special rules, the Ten Commandments? God’s first commandments show us how
to love Him. Today we’re going to learn how God wants us to love others. God loves all the people He made.

Bible Lesson:
Moses and the Israelites were in the wilderness. They set up camp at the base of a mountain called Mount Sinai. God had
rescued the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, and He had a plan to make them His special people. God made a special
agreement with the Israelites. God said, “If you listen carefully to Me and keep My covenant, you will be My people.”
The Israelites said, “We will do everything the Lord said.” Moses went up the mountain, and the Lord came down in a
fire. Smoke covered the mountain, and thunder rumbled. Lightning lit up the sky. God told the people not to come up the
mountain. “I am the Lord your God,” He said. “I brought you out of Egypt. I rescued you from slavery.” Then God gave
Moses the Ten Commandments. The last six commandments told the Israelites what it looks like to have a right
relationship with other people: “ … You must honor your father and mother. You must not murder. You must keep your
marriage promises. You must not steal. You must not lie. You must not want what belongs to someone else.” When the
people heard God talking to Moses, they were afraid. They heard the law that God gave to them. They told Moses, “Let
God talk to you, and then tell us what He said. If God speaks to us, we will die!” “Do not be afraid,” Moses said. “God
wants you to fear Him so that you will not sin.” The Israelites stood back, and Moses went up themountain where God
was. Moses was on the mountain for many days. God gave Moses many more laws. When God was finished speaking to
Moses on the mountain, He gave Moses two stone tablets. God had written on the tablets with His own finger.
Christ Connection: God’s rules tell us what it looks like to be perfect. Everyone has sinned. Nobody is perfect except for
Jesus. Jesus loves everyone perfectly. He loves people so much that He died to take away our sin.
