主题

诫命、盟约、神的同在、顺服、应许

背诵经文

出埃及记 20:2-3

开始祷告(5-10分钟)

团队建造(10分钟)

事先在白板或某个地方写下十条规则，不要特别提醒。相反，每次有人违反规则时，就要有相应的惩罚。比如，犯规的人要在地板上坐30秒。孩子们逐渐坐定后，当他们违反规则时，告诉他们他们违反了规则，必须接受惩罚。

以下是一些示例规则，可以有创意：

1. 你必须以“请求发言许可”开始每句话，并且等到被允许后才能发言。

2. 你不可穿鞋。

3. 你不可说“like”这个词。

4. 你坐下时必须和旁边的人击掌。

5. 每当有人和你击掌时，你必须像牛一样“哞”一声。

   
   

在这些规则下玩一会儿，违规就执行惩罚。过一阵子就宣布游戏结束，进入课程。

课程导入(5分钟)

讨论问题：

• 遵守规则难吗？（当你不知道规则时就很难！）

• 生活中有哪些带来后果的规则？（家庭规则、学校规则、法律等。）

• 你觉得基督教有很多规则吗？（让学生回答。）

• 圣经里有哪些规则是你不理解的？（让学生回答。）

今天我们要讨论圣经里最有名的规则——十诫。这些规则提醒我们，神有祂希望我们生活的方式。同时，这个故事也提醒我们：神告诉我们要做什么，是因为祂爱我们，并且希望我们得着最好的。

深入学习(30分钟)

读 出埃及记 20:1-11

前四条诫命与我们和神的关系有关。

讨论问题：

1. 神是怎样“介绍”祂自己的？（“我是耶和华你的神，曾将你从埃及地领出来。”）

2. 神为什么在颁布诫命前提醒祂的作为？（祂不是陌生人，祂一直同在，祂带着权威说话等。）

3. 前四条诫命涉及我们与神的关系。一般说来，我们该怎样对待神？（尊敬，只敬拜祂，不用任何人或事取代祂的位置。）

4. 你认为“妄称神的名”是什么意思？（有的译为“不可将耶和华的名当作虚空”。意思是不可使祂的名失去意义，不可把祂的名当脏话，或漫不经心地使用。）

5. 为什么安息日重要？（神要我们分别一天来记念祂。）

读 出埃及记 20:12-17

前四条是关于人与神的关系，后六条是关于人与人之间的关系。有些（如杀人、偷盗）很明显，但有些不那么直观。

讨论问题：

1. “孝敬父母”是什么意思？（顺服、尊重等。）

2. 这个诫命带有什么应许？（“使你得以在耶和华所赐的地上长久。”）

3. “作假见证陷害邻舍”是什么意思？（许多人理解为“不可说谎”，圣经确实禁止说谎。但这里特别强调不可在邻舍身上说谎，尤其在法律场合。这是维系社会正常运作的关键。）

4. “贪恋”是什么意思？它和“想要”有什么区别？（想要只是希望得到；贪恋则是渴望别人不要有，自己要占有。）

5. 哪一条对你这个年纪的人最难遵守？（让学生回答。）

   
   

（若时间允许，可以查登山宝训里耶稣如何进一步解释这些诫命，例如马太福音 5:21 起，指出恨人等同于杀人。）。

应用(15分钟)

认识并遵守十诫很重要，但在出埃及记的故事中，这一事件提醒我们两个更重要的事实：

1. 神守祂的应许

读 出埃及记 3:12；申命记 5:2-4

在申命记中重述十诫时（就在以色列人进入应许之地前），摩西提醒他们，神曾在何烈山（一般认为就是西奈山）与他们说话。这也是神在燃烧的荆棘中对摩西说话的地方。

摩西如今站在神早就知道他会到达的地方，在进入应许之地前与神立约、敬拜。

那是一个应许之地，一个应许的出埃及，一个应许的事件。神守了每一个应许。

讨论问题：

• 你觉得摩西站在那山上，回想神最初呼召他回埃及时，心里会怎样？（奇妙、鼓励、安心等。）

• 当别人违背承诺时，你通常感觉如何？当别人兑现承诺时，你的感受又如何？（守信的人会让我们更信赖，不会失去信心。）

• 神自我介绍为“把你们从埃及领出来的神”。摩西站在山上回想时，他会想起什么？（十灾、红海、云柱、吗哪、压力、恐惧等。）

  
  

2. 神的同在

读 出埃及记 19:16-19

讨论问题：

1. 什么笼罩着山？（云。）

2. 自从离开埃及以来，以色列人靠什么引导？（白日云柱，黑夜火柱。）

3. 以色列人还经历了哪些神同在的记号？（雷轰、电闪、号角、山摇动等。）

4. 你认为以色列人是否确信神就在身边？（当然，他们甚至害怕靠得太近。）

正如自离开埃及时一样，神始终与以色列人同在。祂曾在他们的苦难与拯救中同在，如今祂在赐下律法时同在，指引他们该如何作为祂的子民生活。

结束祷告(2分钟)

祈求学生们不仅遵守诫命，也信靠那位守约并始终同在的神。

Exodus: After the Red Sea Is Parted

Lesson 2: The Ten Commandments

LESSON OBJECTIVES

Goals

1. To inform students of the overview of the book of Exodus

2. To educate students on the 10 Commandments

3. To remind students that God keeps His promises and is always present

Topics

Commandments, Covenant, God's Presence, Obedience, Promises

Scripture Memorization

Exodus 20:2-3

OPENING PRAYER (5 to 10 minutes)

GROUP BUILDING (10 minutes)

As your group enters, have ten rules written on a white board or somewhere in your space. Do not draw any extra attention to them. Instead, every time someone breaks a rule, have a consequence. Maybe it’s for the person who broke the rule to sit on the floor for 30 seconds. As kids are settling in and they break rules, inform them that they have broken a rule and must endure the consequences.

Here are some sample rules. Be creative:

1. Thou shalt start each sentence with “Permission to speak” and await being granted permission before speaking.

2. Thou shalt not wear shoes

3. Thou shalt not say the word “like”

4. Thou shalt give the person next to you a high five when you sit down

5. Thou shalt moo like a cow any time someone gives you a high five

Have some fun with them, issuing consequence when a rule is broken. Call the game off after a while to get started.

GETTING STARTED (5 minutes)

General Discussion:

• Is it difficult to follow rules? (It is when you do not know them!)

• What rules are there in life that have consequences? (Rules at home, school, the law, etc.)

• Do you think of Christianity as having a lot of rules? (Allow students to answer.)

• What rules do you not understand in the Bible? (Allow students to answer.)

Today, we are going to talk about the most famous rules in the entire Bible—The 10 Commandments. These rules remind us that there is a way God wants us to live. However, this story also reminds us that God tells us what to do because He loves us and wants what is best for us.

DIGGING IN (30 minutes)

Read Exodus 20:1-11

The first four commandments deal with our relationship with God.

Discussion Questions:

1. How does God “introduce” Himself? (“I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt.”)

2. Why do you think God reminds the people of His accomplishments before He issuing His commands? (He is no stranger, He has been present, He speaks with authority, etc.)

3. The first four commandments concern our relationship with God. Generally, how would you say we should relate to God? (With respect, He should be the only one we worship; we should not substitute anything or anyone else in His place.)

4. What do you think it means to “misuse” God’s name? (Some translations render this “take God’s name in vain.” Either translation is fine, but the point is that we should not empty God’s name of meaning—to use His name as a swear or thoughtlessly.)

5. Why is a Sabbath day important? (God asks us to set aside a day to remember Him.)

Read Exodus 20:12-17

While the first four commandments concern our relationship with God, the last six of the Ten Commandments concern our relationship with one another. Some of those (murdering, stealing, etc.) seem obvious, but some may not be.

Discussion Questions:

1. What do you think it means to honor your father and mother? (Obey, respect, etc.)

2. What promise is attached with obeying that commandment? (“So that you may live long in the land God is giving you.”)

3. What do you think it means to “give false testimony against your neighbor”? (Many people interpret this as “thou shalt not lie,” and lying is forbidden in other Scriptures. However, this specifically says we should not lie about our neighbors, particularly in in legal settings. This is the key to a well-functioning society.)

4. What do you think it means to covet? What is the difference between wanting something and coveting something? (To desire something means you want it. To covet something means that you want it instead of someone else having it.)

5. Which of these commandments is the hardest for someone your age to follow? (Allow students to answer.)

(If you have time, you may want to look up passages in the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus takes commands and elaborates. For example, Matthew 5:21ff clarifies teaching on murder, insisting that hating someone in your heart is equivalent with taking someone’s life.)

 

MAKING IT REAL (15 minutes)

Knowing and obeying the Ten Commandments is important. In the story of the Exodus, this incident reminds us of two things even more important.

1. God Keeps His Promises

Read Exodus 3:12 and Deuteronomy 5:2-4

In the re-telling of the 10 Commandments in Deuteronomy (which occurs just before Israel enters the Promised Land), Moses reminds them that God spoke to them from Mount Horeb, which most believe is the same mountain as Mount Sinai. This is also, where God spoke to Moses through a burning bush.

Here stands Moses, exactly where God knew he would be, worshiping and making covenant with God before entering the Promised Land.

It was a promised land. A promised exodus. A promised event. God has kept every promise.

General Discussion:

• What do you think it was like for Moses to be standing on that mountain, remembering when God first called him to return to Egypt? (It must have been strange, encouraging, reassuring, etc.)

• When someone breaks a promise, how do you usually feel? How do you feel different when someone makes good on his or her promise? (When a promise is kept, we usually trust the person(s) who made the promise more. We do not lose faith in that person(s).)

• God introduces Himself as the one who brought them out of Egypt. Standing where he is standing, what memories do you think Moses is reflecting on after going through so much? (The plagues, the Red Sea, the cloud, the manna, the stress, the fear, etc.)

2. God is PresentRead

Exodus 19:16-19

Discussion Questions:

1. What covers the mountain? (A cloud.)

2. What has been guiding the Israelis since they left Egypt? (A cloud during the day, fire by night.)

3. What other signs of God’s presence did the Israelis experience? (Thunder, lightning, a trumpet blast, the mountain trembled, etc.)

4. Do you think Israel was convinced that God was near? (Absolutely, we later read that they were terrified to get too close.)

As it has been since they left Egypt, God is present for Israel. While He has been present in their suffering and rescue, He is now present in issuing commands for how they are to live as a people—relating to their God and their community.

CLOSING PRAYER (2 minutes)

Pray that your students not only obey the commandments, but also that they trust God, who keeps His promises and is always present.
