About the Cover: The law was written by the finger of God (Exodus 31:18). Forty years later as the people of ancient Israel were about to enter the Promised Land, Moses pointed again to that Law, reminding them to listen to and do the Lord’s rules and statutes that they may live. However, ancient Israel, like the whole world, fail to keep God's good Law, for sin has produced death under the Law (Romans 7:13). However, God has also given us the Gospel-pointing finger of John the Baptist that directs us to Jesus, who kept the law perfectly, died in our place, and forgives us as the “Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).
