This week's lesson emphasizes the way we are to treat our neighbors, strangers and those in business and most of all those that are considered poor and disabled.
In our lesson today we learned of the Feasts of Booths “Tabernacles” known as Sukkoth. The Festival of Booths (also known as Tabernacles) was so named because during those days they were to construct booths in which to live.
In the lesson text today we see once again the matchless and precious grace of God's love poured out for His people by way of the Day of Atonement. Christ's once-for-all sacrifice was superior to the Old Testament Day of atonement (Hebrew 10:10).
Today’s set of scriptures speaks to relationship as much as rules. God in His love for us beckons us to know Him and love Him. He cautions them not to have any other gods before Him (Vs. 3) He reminds us that He is above all and is to be revered as such!
In today’s lesson we see these signs, thunder, lightning, power, and the glory signaled the presence of the Lord. The sound of the trumpet did not come from the camp, but from heaven, as the people trembled.
