Coming up in this episode on Follow Him.

God loves us.

He's not looking for ways to crush us or punish us or destroy our dreams.

All of these feelings that the people are having are completely understandable.

If we just view God through a different lens, which is what they're being asked to do,

because again, that's back in chapter 19, there's this preoccupation with do not fear. God will come

down in your sight. The commandments then are something to now personalize and bring us closer to him.

Hello, everyone. Welcome to follow him. My name is Hank Smith. I'm your host. I'm here with my

co-host, John, by the way, who is on the Lord's side. John, that's Moses asking the question to the camp of Israel. Who is on the Lord's side?

And I bet you would have been first in line. Hope he's on my side. The hymn says the Lord is on thy side,

so I'll take it. Yeah, who's on the Lord's side? I think I would have been the first in the murmuring line.

John, we are excited to have returning Dr. Aaron Shade.

Thanks so much. Great to be here. Appreciate you having me back.

We've had a lot of good times on this show with Aaron.

John, we're out of Egypt. Now we have a lot of people who have a lot of Egypt still left in them.

What are you looking forward to today?

This is something that's always confused me.

Are the Ten Commandments part of the Law of Moses or were the Ten Commandments given first and then the Law of Moses was better?

So that's my admission here.

I should know the answer to that, but that's what I'm looking forward to talking about today. Yeah, we have the

guy who can do it. Aaron, what are you looking forward to today? What do you want to do?

You know, something about these particular chapters are very personal. They invite us into a world where Moses has had some very sacred experiences.
