Laws Governing Relationship with God or Man	Section # with Description	Exodus 20:1-20a God Offers Himself or Moses to man, Ten Commandments	Comments on the Exodus Section	Man Kills God or Man?	John 19:13-32 God Offers Himself or Barabbas/Caesar to man	Comments on the John Section	Common Thread Exodus/John
The God to man part of the Ten Commandments.	#1 Innocence	Exodus 20 ¹And God spake all these words, saying, ²I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. ³Thou shalt have no other gods before me.	God starts speaking and says that He is the Lord that brought Israel out of Egypt. They should have no other gods.	Man kills God.	John 19 ¹³When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. ¹⁴And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews,	Pilate brought Jesus out of the judgment hall. Pilate sits in the judgment seat in front of the Jews as if he is the supreme god that judges.	God is ultimate government over man (Israel); vs. Man (Pilate) is ultimate government over God (Jesus).
	#2 Self Awareness	⁴Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: ⁵Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God,	God is the only true God and He is a jealous God.		Behold your King!	Pilate presents Jesus as “King of the Jews” to the Jews.	God presents self as King in both.
	#3 Government	visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;	There will be trouble for generations to come for them that hate God.		¹⁵But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him.	The Jews hate Jesus so much that want Him taken away from them and crucified.	Penalty from those that hate God and the Jews hate Jesus enough to kill him.
	#4 Promise	⁶And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me,	But God will show mercy to those that love him.		Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King?	In a way, Pilate asks the Jew to have mercy on Jesus because he does not want to crucify Jesus.	God will show mercy to them that love Him; Pilate offers the Jews a chance to show mercy to God (Jesus).
	#5 Law	and keep my commandments.	God also shows mercy to those that acknowledge God’s laws and obey them.		The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.	The chief priest hates Jesus so much he says that Caesar is the only king.	Also, mercy to those that keep God’s commandments (no crucifixion in God’s law); Jews want the laws of King Caesar so they can crucify Jesus.
	#6 Grace –in-	⁷Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in (uselessness) vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in (uselessness) vain.	God talks about His name/title and the guilt of the person using it in vain (meaning: uselessness).		¹⁶Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away. ¹⁷And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: ¹⁸Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. ¹⁹And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. ²⁰This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. ²¹Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews. ²²Pilate answered, What I have written I have written. ²³Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. ²⁴They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did. ²⁵Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. ²⁶When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! ²⁷Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home. ²⁸After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. ²⁹Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. ³⁰When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.	Pilate puts the Jesus’ name and title on the cross in three different languages. For Mary, Jesus “changes” John’s name/title to “son.” For John, Jesus changes Mary’s name/title to “mother.” Jesus finally dies paying the ultimate price for the guilt of man. In other words, while paying the ultimate price, His name and title are on display three times. This is the third wrong choice man has made: 1) in the Garden of Eden, 2) at the Mountain, and 3) in the Roman Court.	The name of God/Jesus is all over in here as well as name changes for people. God will (punish) not hold man guiltless vs. a guiltless God (Jesus) punished (kill) by guilty man. Summing up: God to man relationship in Exodus vs. man to God relationship in John. Man is so tired of seeing God that they kill Him (Jesus).
	#7 God’s Rule	⁸Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. ⁹Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: ¹⁰But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: ¹¹For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.	Remember the Sabbath, six days of work and then rest on the seventh day. God is finished with the “God to man” relationship.		^31aThe Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,)	It was late in the day and the Jews “remember” that it was about to turn into a high day Sabbath day. The end of man’s relationship with Jesus (God) on earth.	Dealing with the days of the week and the Sabbath (7th) day: rest/no work.
The God to man part of the Ten Commandments.	#2 – #6 Man’s Rule	¹²Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. ¹³Thou shalt not kill. ¹⁴Thou shalt not commit adultery.¹⁵Thou shalt not steal. ¹⁶Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. ¹⁷Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.	These are the rules governing how man should act toward one another.	Man kills man.	^31b(The Jews) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. ³²Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.	Pilate now has to deal with the two men (law breakers) that are with Jesus on the other two crosses. Pilate has their legs broken so they will die quickly.	Exodus: The laws for man governing over man, vs. John: The judgment that man brings upon the men that break the law.
After all that God has done for man, this is what man thinks about God.	#1 – #7 Man in the Presents of God	¹⁸And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. ¹⁹And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. ²⁰And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. ²¹And the people stood afar off,	(Using legs) Man walks away from God and doesn’t want God speaking to them. They choose Moses instead of God. Man walks away from God.	After all that God has done for man, this is what man thinks about God.	³³But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:	(Legs not broken) Man kills Jesus and doesn’t want Jesus (God) speaking to them. They have already chosen Barabbas/Caesar instead of God. Man walks to Jesus (God)but He is dead.	God offers Himself to man and man say he would rather have another man. Both a good man and evil men are chosen instead of God. Man walks away from God and man walk to a dead God: same result, no God.
