Welcome.

Welcome to everyone participating in the Creation to the Cross Bible Reading Plan in 2008. Each week, there will be a new post for the week's reading. You are invited to share your thoughts about what you've read by adding comments to that post. From time to time there will be posts about the day's reading, and you're invited to comment on those posts also. And each week, there will be a suggested, optional, supplemental reading for Sunday.

If you'd like an Introduction/Outline of Numbers click here.

A copy of the reading plan is available here.

Weekly Reading. Exodus 18-23.

Supplemental Reading for Week: Hebrews 12:14-29.

It's the law. The big law. The 10. Step on a crack, break your mother's back.

Moses comes down from the mountain, the people too afraid to hear from God directly. God begins with the reminder: "I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from slavery in Egypt". That's the context for the laying down of the law.

I love how the New Living Translation describes this process: "Then God instructed the people as follows: ..." (Ex 20:1 NLT)

What do you notice during this week's reading?
