what work did JESUS OF NAZARETH finish and rest from, in John 19:30?
What about the 1st? Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
And the 2nd?
Exo 20:4-6 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: 5 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; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
The 3rd? .. verse 7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
and the 4th ? ... verse 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Jesus is the LORD, the Creator of the heavens and Earth. Col 1:15-17.
After the transgression of Adam, all communication between heaven and earth came through Christ. He is the mediator between heaven and Earth.
Jesus is the Lord so the 10 commandments do talk about Jesus.
Joel 3:16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
Acts 7:38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spoke to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give to us:
Jesus was the "Angel" or messenger in the church in the wilderness who spoke to Moses on the mount..
Jesus the Great I AM.
Not one letter in Exodus 20 tells us about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Give up.
What has that got to do with the question.
We are talking about the revelation of the Christ, the savior.
We are not talking about Moses or the law and the prophets.
Your babbling about unrelated information.
What a strange reply.
The ten commandments is the law not the gospel, the ten words, the law, is not the good news.
Romans 10:9–10
If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10:13
Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Ephesians 2:8–9
By grace you have been saved through faith… not as a result of works.
John 3:16
Whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
John 5:24
He who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life… has passed out of death into life.
What has "thou shall not covet" got to do with the verses above?
Those who are deceived by Satan look upon God as hard and exacting. They regard Him as watching to denounce and condemn, as unwilling to receive the sinner so long as there is a legal excuse for not helping him. His law they regard as a restriction upon men’s happiness, a burdensome yoke from which they are glad to escape. But he whose eyes have been opened by the love of Christ will behold God as full of compassion. He does not appear as a tyrannical, relentless being, but as a father longing to embrace his repenting son.
The law of liberty is the Ten commandments and it is a wonderful law of love.
If you see this law as a burden and a restriction you do not understand the love of God.

Sounds like Peter was glad to be living under grace instead of the law.
Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke [of the law] upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. Acts 15:10-11
The 4th commandment is about the sabbath.. the sabbath is about remembering the creator and the Lord.
Jesus is the creator and made the sabbath holy.
So when it says The Lord it is talking about Jesus.
So Jesus is talked about in the 10 commanents.
Again you mix up the law of ordinances and the law of liberty.
The bible states that Moses law was a burden..
Paul delights in the law but Peter calls it a burden. Maybe!! ?? They are different laws
Psa 119:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight.
Rom 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
If want to live without God's loving laws, You can. Be lawless
Follow the example of the prodigal son..
The flesh hates the laws of God because the flesh hates to be restricted from sin.
Lawlessness is sin.
Because the grace of God forgives us from sin, we are not free to live lawless lives.
Lawless lives result in pain and suffering.
There must be laws today because sin is still very present today.
But if you feel like God's grace gives you license to live without laws.... that is your choice.
The law is good ... if you use it lawfully. The law is not made for righteous people
Now the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of unhypocritical faith: From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talk; Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. But we know that the law is good if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 1 Timothy 1:5-10
You did not say the Gospel you said Christ. So my answer showed how Christ was talked about not the gospel.
Why does the gospel need to be in the 10 commandments? The gospel of grace is a result of not obeying the 10 commandments.
The gospel would not have been needed is the law was obeyed.
Being subject to Christ's law is not lawless
And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are lawless, as lawless, (not being lawless to God, but in law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. 1 Corinthians 9:20-21
I totally agree.. so if you obey the law it is not an issue.. the law does not condemn you or show your guilt.
It is there to show us when we are sinners.
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
But you said, Peter said the law was a yoke...
Why are you under the yoke of Christ's law? And say I should not keep God's law.
Because his yoke is easy, unlike Moses' law. Notice that Jesus says those under his law will find rest, like a non-stop sabbath. Compare and contrast:
Christ
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30
PeterBut there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. Acts 15:5
Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke [of the law of Moses] upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. Acts 15:10-11
The law that was nailed to the cross which is the shadow laws and laws of ordinance. Are not required to be kept.. these laws are a yoke and burden that we do not need to be under. These laws all point to the coming Messiah and because Jesus has come, we should not keep these laws.. if we keep the laws pointing to the coming Saviour after the saviour has come we are not living by faith.
The law and ceremonies and traditions that are a yoke that we don't need are the laws that were nailed to the cross.
Gal 3:23-25
23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
The laws of ordinance were a schoolmaster.. showing us the plan of salvation in the cerimonial laws... the lamb offered without blemish.
Understanding that the 10 commandments are not a schoolmaster and are not ordinances. That whey were not nailed to the cross, helps us to know which law is being referred to.
