Hey, this is a year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

It's Shelby and Paul, and today we're wrapping up the book of Deuteronomy and the Pentateuch,

the first five books of the Bible.

It's pretty exciting.

Yeah, yeah, the end of Deuteronomy, yes.

So in these last few chapters, we're getting some poetry, which we haven't seen yet in Deuteronomy, which is kind of cool. So we have Moses's song that the Lord commanded him to teach Israel, and then some blessings for the different tribes of Israel, and then we get Moses's death. Yeah, so it seems like, I know we begin Joshua tomorrow, it seems like we're kind

of concluding some things and we're preparing for a new start in the book of Joshua. That'll be

exciting to see tomorrow. But focusing on these chapters here today, what did you notice? What's

and that's Jesus. And, you know, the gospel of Matthew in particular kind of has this emphasis

through different things that Jesus says and does that kind of shows that Jesus is the greater Moses.

He's the greatest prophet that Israel has ever seen. And, you know, Israel kind of yearned for this

Moses-like leadership for many generations. And that yearning was answered in the Messiah,

Jesus. Yeah, that's super cool. Okay, so as we wrap up Deuteronomy, do you have any just like

overall takeaways from the book as a whole? Yeah, that's a great question. There's a lot there.

But I think for me, I would really just come back to this idea that God wants our hearts. And even at the time of Israel, he wanted their hearts, right? He wanted them not just to obey him, but to obey him out of love, right? To obey him out of a total posturing of
