A DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: Our Lutheran Church remembers Moses today, September 4. As the writer of the first five books of the Bible, the Pentateuch, he brought us much information on God's care for His people. We especially cherish the Ten Commandments received by Moses as God's will for all people and for all time. Yet, even more, God promised, "I will raise up for Israel a prophet like you." Jesus is that prophet and more. He not only communicates God's will, but fulfilled that will for us. Jesus frees us from sin, death, and the devil, and He offers us forgiveness when we fail to obey the Ten Commandments. Today we rejoice in the revelation of Moses and the greater Moses, Jesus.
