THIS WEEK’S SEEMONETTE
TEN COMMANDS OF CHRIST
By R. C. Cunningham
Real estate is costly in Manhattan. A
modest plot of ground may bring a fabulous
price because there’s solid rock beneath, and
builders know it’s safe to put enormous
buildings on such a foundation.
A human life is worth for more than the
tallest skyscraper—yet some pay scant atten-
tion to the foundaion on which they are
building.
Jesus told the story of two builders. One
was wise and built his house on rock, with
the result that it weathered the storms. The
other foolishly built on sand, and his house
collapsed.
The wise builder, Jesus said, is the man
who receives His commandments and obeys
them. What are His commandments? The
ten commandments of Moses we know, but
what are Christ’s commandments? By read-
ing the Gospel of Matthew we find many.
Here are ten of them:
1 “Repent” (Matthew 4:17). Have we
humbled ourselves before the Lord and deeply
repented of all the sins we’ve committed?
2 “Follow me” (4:19). This comes after
we’ve repented and been genuinely saved.
Are we following Jesus ? Have we left all and
become “fishers of men”?
3 “Rejoice” (5:12). Even when we’re per-
secuted for following Jesus we can rejoice—
for there’s a great reward ahead.
4 “Be ye therefore perfect” 5:48). That
is keep all the commandments, even the least
of them. Do we take God’s Word seriously?
Do we obey the spirit of it as well as the letter ?
5 “Pray ye” (6:9). To fail to pray is sin.
6 “Seek ye first the kingdom of God” (6:33).
This is not optional; it is Christ’s command.
But He promises that if we will put His king-
dom before material things, He will see that
never lack the material things we need.
7 “Fear him which is able to destroy both
soul and body in hell” (10:28). God is to be
feared—and so is Satan. We need to realize
that the enemy of our souls is strong—but
the Keeper of our souls is stronger still. There-
fore We should not trifle with temptations—
and neither should we live in bondage to fear.
The mighty God is on our side—if we are on
His.
8 “Confess me before men” (10:32). If
we do not cnfess Him publicly as our Saviour,
He will deny us salvation.
9 “From your hearts, forgive” (18:35).
After the Lord forgives us He expects us to
forgive others. If we do not forgive, we can-
not expect to be forgiven.
10 “Love thy neighbor” (22:39). It is not
enough to respect his rights and treat him
fairly; Jesus said we must LOVE our neigh-
bor as dearly as we love ourselves.
There are but ten of Christ’s command-
ments. There are many more. To people who
do not love the Lord, His commandments may
seem burdensome, but those who love Him
will take delight in obeying all His cammand-
ments. They will not live as they please, but
will find their pleasure in pleasing Him. The
Holy Spirit comes into our lives to bring Hi3
commandments to our remembrance and to
enable us to obey them. Wise is the man who
does this. He shall stand secure and serene
through all life’s storms. For storms will
come. Jesus warned that the rain will descend
the floods will come, the winds will blow and
