I passed through a busy intersection that had 11 red lights and 3 green lights. What is there about human nature that we have to shout out for people to stop in such powerful ways, lest lives be lost? The “Thou-shalt-not” commands are there to help us avoid danger and death. We need red lights. The green light commands have to be summed up as loving God and neighbor. When we are acting in love, living out the Great Commandment, that is our green light.
“You shall have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3
