While Moses was up on Mount Sinai getting the Ten Commandment the people were busy making a golden calf, an idol. Sometimes it is easy to go along with the crowd and do what they do. This lesson teaches us that the crowd is not always the way to follow. We need to keep our eyes on Jesus.
Moses was given the Ten Commandments by the LORD God. They are the laws that tell us how to live. We as adopted children should obey the Ten Commandments so we do not disobey the LORD God.
