Why The Second Set Of Stone Tablets?

Deuteronomy 10:13:

"To Keep the commandments of the Lord, and

his statutes, which I command thee

this day for thy good?"

    God told Moses to hew out two tablets of stone just like the first, and to make an Ark of shittim wood. He wrote the same commandments on the second set of stone tablets, that was on the first set that Moses broke. However, this time as God commanded, Moses placed the tablets in the ark that he was instructed to make.

    God's rewriting of His Law was a demonstration of His forgiveness. The ark of the covenant made of wood, is a symbol of  "humanity" and covered with gold  "deity." It is believed by some to be a symbol of Jesus Christ in who full humanity and full deity were combined, "For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily," (Col. 2:9). 

    My Friend's, even though we now live under God's Grace, through His Son Jesus Christ, who gave His life for our sins.  Actually, I must say for those who accept and believe that Jesus Christ Is The Saviour Of the World. We Must not ignore God's Ten Commands! Just because they were written under the old convent as a guide line of obedience dosen't mean that God is just going to forget His Commandments, after all He did write the same commandments twice. 

Amen!
