The Ten Commandments are more than simply rules and laws. They are a foundation of moral teaching and shape our obligations as Christians in relationship to God. The Ten Commandments were given to Moses by God on Mt. Sinai after being rescued by God from slavery in Egypt. These Commandments are the expression and sign of the Covenant between God and God’s people and are just as powerful and binding as they were when they were written.

Alipoulizwa ni amri ipi iliyo kuu kuliko zote, Yesu alijibu kwa mbili. Katika mafundisho haya ya Yesu, amri hizi zinakamilishana na haziwezi kuonekana kuwa ziko mbali na nyingine. Ya kwanza ni kumpenda Bwana Mungu wako kwa moyo wako wote, roho, akili na nguvu zako zote na ya pili ni kumpenda jirani yako kama nafsi yako.

These are teachings of Jesus during the Sermon on the Mount in which he describes the attitudes and actions that should characterize his disciples and followers. They can be seen as blueprints for living an authentic Christian life.

( Yohana 19:26-27 )Eli, Eli, lamma sabaktani? (Mungu wangu, Mungu Wangu, mbona umeniacha?) (Mathayo 27:46)Naona kiu. (Yohana 19:28) Imekwisha. (Yohana 19:30) Baba, mikononi mwako naiweka roho yangu.
