Moses and the ten commandments
The religious scholars and the average Jewish person of Jesus time on earth thought they took “the Law”, what Moses wrote, very seriously. Jesus knew that Moses wrote about Him. He also knew they didn’t take that seriously and so discounted much of what Jesus had to say.
We read the Bible but do we always take it seriously? Jesus demands that we take the Bible and what He says seriously. It is a matter of life and death. God has a goal for us. We must take God seriously. God is God. His Word stands true for all time.
“If you won’t take seriously what Moses wrote, how can I expect you to take seriously what I speak?” ~~Jesus John 5:45-47

Thank you for your blog Michael. I agree 1000% Michael. We as a culture seem to have forgotten how important the Old Testament is and the law Moses received from God Himself. God didn't just give 10 Commandments either. Jesus Himself also said here, in Matthew 5:17-18 Jesus has gathered His disciples and is teaching them and states:
17. “Don't misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writing of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. 18. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God's law will disappear until its purpose is achieved.
