God’s commandments: orientation for human beings

No other collection of laws has had such a high degree of influence on the cultural history of mankind as the Ten Commandments of God. Here the term ‘commandment’ is a translation of the Hebrew word for “instruction”. The Ten Commandments thus serve as direction and orientation for humanity.

The altar: the place where we encounter God

The organ starts to play, the Priest walks to the front, and steps behind the altar. The altar is built on a platform, behind which the cross has been mounted. The altar is the place where God is worshipped, where we remember the sacrifice of Jesus, and where the minister stands to preach. The altar is also referred to as mensa domini, the table of the Lord.
