In this message, we explore the Sixth Commandment, “Do not murder,” discovering how it is rooted in the sacred value of human life because every person bears the image of God. Looking at Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5, we see that this commandment reaches beyond the act of murder to the attitudes of the heart—anger, contempt, and hatred—that lead to it. Ultimately, the command calls us not only to avoid harming others but to honor the image of God in every person by pursuing reconciliation, speaking with grace, and loving others as Christ has loved us.

In the Lord's Prayer we pray to have God "Forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors..." Why do we need to forgive? How do we get over a hurt?

Since the justified anger of God is atoned for by Christ, we should turn from our unjustified angry, murderous ways and love.

Our summer series on the 10 Commandments continues. Rev. Stone explains how the root of all murder is anger. Anger comes from feat, sadness and loss. Murder is fundamentally an issue of the heart. However, reconciliation is at the very heart of the Gospel. Is it ever OK to be angry? Ephesians 4:26 discusses righteous anger against evil and injustice.
