Jesus reframes the ten commandments from a list of external rules into matters of the heart. He taught that true righteousness is not merely about avoiding bad actions, but about harboring pure thoughts and actively demonstrating love for God and humanity. During the months of July, August and September, we’ll consider the Ten Commandments Through the Eyes of Jesus, focusing on the following topics:
- July 5 - the Ultimate Summary
- July 12 - No Other Gods
- July 19- No Idols
- July 26 - Do Not Take God's Name in Vain
- August 9 - Keep the Sabbath Holy
- August 16 - Honor Your Father and Mother
- August 23 - Do Not Murder
- August 30 - Do Not Commit Adultery
- September 6 - Do Not Steal
- September 13 - Do Not Bear False Witness
- September 20 - Do Not Covet
On Sunday, we'll discuss the Fourth Commandment:
Remember that the Sabbath Day belongs to me. You have six days when you can do your work, but the seventh day of each week belongs to me, your God. No one is to work on that day—not you, your children, your slaves, your animals, or the foreigners who live in your towns. In six days I made the sky, the earth, the oceans, and everything in them, but on the seventh day I rested. That's why I made the Sabbath a special day that belongs to me. [Exodus 20:8-11, CEV]
