Dr. John MuhlfeldNovember 9, 2014Passage: Exodus 20:17
Discontentment may seem like a lesser sin because it is entirely inward and is listed last among the Ten Commandments, but it is foundational to the other nine. It is the gateway through which every other sin flows, revealing the dissatisfaction of our hearts with God and His provision. Only a Savior who perfectly delighted in His Father at all times can redeem us from the sin of covetousness and lead us to true contentment, and thankfully we have such a Savior in Jesus Christ.
