Preaching the Gospel from the Law of Moses

So what is the problem with these artistic renderings of the Ten Commandments? The problem, I pointed out, is that the gospel is missing! If you read the accounts containing the Ten Commandments—Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5—you will find the gospel. But most wall-plaques and pictures of the two tablets leave it out. Perhaps this is due to space. Still, the gospel gets left out. I’ll explain how this happens in a moment.
