Everything is great commandments in the sight of God.

 

 

Among the Ten Commandments, I thought the first commandment

“You shall have no other gods before Me” was the greatest commandment (Exod. 20:3).  

So I thought that God hated the sins of idolatry the most.

However, during this week Morning Prayer meeting, as I was meditating and preaching based on Matthew 5:19,

"Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same,

shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven …,” this thought came into my mind:

Although there is a great commandment and the least commandment in our eyes,

I think in the sight of God everything is great commandments.

The basis of my thought is if the first commandment of the Ten commandments is

about don’t worship any idols, then the tenth commandment “You shall not covet your neighbor's house;

you shall not covet your neighbor's wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything

that belongs to your neighbor” (Exod. 20:17) is also about don’t worship idol

(Col. 3:5 – “… greed, which amounts to idolatry”).
