They give us an escape clause if we get caught doing something we shouldn’t be doing. And frankly, we like having a way to escape the blame or shift it to the other guy.
In our gospel lesson this morning, however, Jesus makes it abundantly clear that God’s well aware of this sinful human tendency.
And so he proceeds to close up all the loopholes and negate all the technicalities by offering us a sobering, cage-rattling and altogether unsettling recounting of the 10 Commandments.
