The Fifth Command

Posted on Feb 27 2024, Pastor: Allan Briggs

Exodus 20:12 (English Standard Version)

Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.

Matthew 5:21-24 (English Standard Version)

You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
