2nd Commandment — Law Homily

The Second Commandment charges us not only to flee obvious idols but also to guard against every corruption of God’s appointed worship. It reveals how God jealously opposes false religion and appoints officers to maintain purity and discipline in His house. Furthermore, it binds His people to tear down monuments of idolatry, submit to lawful shepherds, and seek a congregation where Word, sacrament, and discipline are ordered by Scripture alone.

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments." — Exodus 20:4–6
