The ten commandments are an integral part of God’s teaching because they tell us how God wants us to live and show us the way to follow him. Teaching the meaning of the ten commandments to our students is an important part of raising Christian children. So, take a look at the story of the ten commandments in the Bible and explore the Lutheran understanding of God’s commandments through Luther’s Small Catechism.
God’s Design for our Lives
Have you ever been stopped at a train crossing? As the cars whiz by it’s easy to see how smoothly a train runs because the tracks are guiding it. But think about what would happen if the train tried to run without its tracks? Obviously, it wouldn’t get very far! Even so, the ten commandments are like the train tracks for Christians. Rather than being restrictive and oppressive, the ten commandments give order, meaning, and direction to a Christian’s life.
