Hi there, tiny theologians. I'm so glad you're here today. You might know me as T.J. and

Tori's mom. And today we're going to talk about

something really important, God's law. So if you haven't already, go ahead and grab your

day 10 Jesse Tree card and your stone tablets ornament. I'll wait just a moment while you find them.

Got it? You're so awesome. Let's begin. When God rescued his people from slavery in Egypt,

he didn't just set them free and say, good luck. No, he led them. He guided them. And at Mount Sinai,

he gave him something special, his law. Now, you've probably heard of the Ten Commandments before.

These are ten big, important instructions that show us how to love God and love other people.

Let me read just a few from Exodus 20. You shall have no other gods before me. Honor your father and

mother. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony. God's law is good.

It shows us what is right. And actually, the whole point of God's law is to show us God's righteousness.

But here's the hard part. We can't keep it perfectly. Not even close. We try, but we mess up. We forget, we disobey, we break

God's commands, and that is why we need a Savior. Let me read what your Jesse Tree card says today.

The stone tablets ornament reminds us of the ten commandments that God gave to Moses on Mount Sinai.

These laws showed God's people how to live life God's way. But they also revealed that no one could

keep them perfectly. That's why we need Jesus, the only one who ever obeyed God's law

completely. Jesus didn't just follow the law. He fulfilled it for us and offers us

his perfect record in exchange for our sin. Isn't that amazing? Jesus never sinned, not even once.

And because of that, when we put our trust in Him, we get to stand before God as if we had obeyed perfectly too.

Not because we're perfect, but because Jesus is.

Go ahead and hang your stone tablets ornament on your Jesse tree.

And as you do, remember this.
