Yitro: Jethro

In this portion God we will take a brief look at the giving of the Ten Words that God Himself spoke and gave to those whom He had saved out of Egypt.  These are commonly referred to as the Ten Commandments.  They are the foundational laws of the covenant and all laws that come later. Seeing that God Himself spoke these words and wrote the in stone with His own finger, these fundamental commandments are to be cherished, and exalted higher than all other laws! It is alarming to see a growing trend in Christianity to either modify them or dismiss them as no longer obligatory.  However, in Messianic Judaism, they are be exalted and safeguarded once again.  If Christianity returns to the Law of God she will become relevant and influential in the world today, if not she will continue to be marginalized.
