In Deuteronomy 15, we read the instructions for the Sabbatical year of God's people. This Sabbatical year was a time for people to reflect on God's grace and to respond to others in a gracious manner. It is a reminder for us that as Christians, we should be some of the most gracious and generous individuals around, for we have a God who has been abundantly gracious with us.

The curtain of Deuteronomy 34 opens as we, along with Israel, watch Moses walk the 10-mile journey to the mountain from which God will allow him to see the Promised Land and die. We silently witness one of the most remarkable event in all of Scripture: the death of Moses and his burial by God Himself. There was never anyone like Moses either before or after. It makes us wonder - if Moses isn’t getting into the Land on his own mertis, how will we?
The Greatest Commandment

The book of Deuteronomy is a sermon preached by Moses on the eve of his death and Israel’s entering the Promised Land. Moses recounts God wondrous work of salvation and calls the people to love God in return. In Deuteronomy 6:4–9, Moses gives what Jesus Christ will call the greatest and most central commandment: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”
