Exodus 21 and 22; 1Corinthians12
I honestly did not know until now, that God gave Moses other specific laws/guidance for the people other than the 10 commandments. In Exodus 21 and 22, God recognized when the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt under Pharoah's rule, they would need additional guidance, not self-governance. God knew they needed a moral foundation to thrive. This was another gift to the Israelites, to help shape them into a community of justice and love. 1Corinthians12, reminds us that we all have our unique gifts, and are of value in the body of Christ, in these communities, to help hold them together. It reminds me of when I was young growing up in Carver Ranches. We had a tremendous community back then. I didn't realize how important community was, until I no longer had it. We are stronger together in community, as opposed to being solo. This is something I think we should all strive to have, in order to create a better living for everyone.
