The First Commandment V: Today! Love and Obey God (Deut. 10:12-11:32)
aith – now share in those same promises. Here in chapters 10 and 11, Moses concludes his exposition of the first commandment. He has focused on what it means to have no other gods besides Yahweh, and has repeatedly drawn us back to our need to love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul, and all our strength. Moses offers us our motivation for why we should love and obey God TODAY...

Lord and Christ: What Pentecost Tells Us about Jesus (Acts 2:29-36)
[Sung Psalm: 98] There are all sorts of fascinating ways in which Pentecost completes Passover. In the OT, the very structure of the two feasts makes it clear. The fiftieth day (which is what Pentecost means) is calculated from the day after the seventh Sabbath (the seventh Saturday) after Passover. So Pentecost is always on a Sunday! Seven times seven plus one – makes Pentecost the ultimate eighth day – a day associated in the OT with the new creation – with entering into the presence of God. In the OT, the sacrifices and the Law were the two great gifts of God to Israel. Passover signaled the great redemptive act of God in the Exodus – symbolized in the offering of the Passover Lamb. Pentecost signaled the entrance into the Promised Land – symbolized in the giving of the Law – the pattern of life that God expected his people to live in the Land. Acts 2 shows us how Pentecost fulfills Passover in the new covenant as well. The feast of Passover was the feast of the firstborn and of deliverance from bondage. It perfectly sets up the death and resurrection of Christ, as he, the firstborn of the Father becomes the firstborn from the dead. He is the firstfruits of the resurrection harvest. But Pentecost is not some afterthought to the resurrection. It is the fulfillment of the resurrection. As Peter says in verse 33, "being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.} The giving of the Law was a good gift – the problem was that the Law didn't convey power to keep the Law! But the coming of the Holy Spirit changes all that!!
