Day 1 – THE STORY
Moses and all of God’s people crossed the Red Sea and got out of Egypt. Soon after, God told Moses to go up on a mountain called Mount Sinai. God was on the mountain and it was there He gave Moses the 10 Commandments.
Read Exodus 20:1-17
Write down the 10 Commandments.
Have you ever disobeyed one of these?
Day 2 – THE WITNESSES
God was planning for Jesus to show up. It was the plan all along, but until Jesus got there, anyone who followed God had to follow the 10 Commandments. Some of these commandments may seem simple to follow, but God’s people couldn’t get it right no matter how hard they tried. They always broke these commandments. God used these 10 commandments to show the Israelites that they needed a Savior… big time.
Read Exodus 20:1-17
There are 10 Commandments. But the Bible says that if you do one of them wrong, you have broken all of God’s Law. Have you lied before? Have you disobeyed your parents? Have you ever stolen from somebody?
If you said “yes” then you have broken God’s Law.
Don’t be discouraged… you just realized that you need Jesus!
DEFINE IT.COVET (v) to want what someone else has.
Here is the word used in a sentence.
“Jackson coveted his friends new shoes, so he stole them.”
Coveting isn’t thinking what someone has is cool. Coveting is when you want it so bad you will do anything to take it away from the person it belongs to.
Day 3 – THE SOURCE
When Jesus came, it didn’t mean that you could throw the 10 Commandments in the trash. He says in the Bible, that if you follow Him you will be following the Law. It’s that simple. Did you know that Jesus came and lived on earth for 33 years and never once broke the Law? He is the perfect example of how to live according to God’s commands. That is why He was the only one who could die for our sins.
Read Romans 6:23
A wage is something you earn (like earning an allowance for doing your chores).
You are sinning when you break the Law. What do you earn for your sin?
What does God give you through Jesus?
Day 4 – THE MOTIVE
What are you supposed to do with the 10 Commandments? God wants you to follow them by following Jesus. Jesus followed them and He gives you the example of how to do it.
Read John 14:15
How do you show God you love Him?
Do you do what God commands you to do?
What is one way you could follow God a little better?
Day 5 – CAUGHT IN THE ACT
On the next page, there are drawings of hand motions to help you memorize the 10 Commandments. Use them to memorize all 10. Another awesome way to remember them is to make up a rap or a song! Once you’ve learned all 10, teach the motions, rap, or song to your friends and parents!
