The 10 Commandments Series: Your Neighbors

Read: Exodus 20:16-17
  
Today we are going to read about our last two commandments. Which are about “How we should live with the people in this world” 

The first one is "Do not bear false witness against your neighbour". This commandment usually can be seen in legal courts. If we are in a court and we are the witness and we are supposed to say the truth what had really happened, but usually people will say the truth but some people do not say the truth but instead they lie. The reason may be bribing, blackmailing etc., but in daily life, no one is bribing or blackmailing us, but then why do we lie?? Might be because of one’s weakness or benefit. Sometimes due to personal weakness is ok, but if we lie for worldly benefits it’s a sin. The reason is with an example, there are two brothers one is Sam (6 years) and the other one is Peter (4 years). Their mother keeps a bowl of cookie and instructs them not to eat the cookies. Peter continuous playing, but the cookies are tempting Sam. So, Sam eats all of them (he is breaking the 5th commandment). So when his mother comes and asks who ate the cookies Sam says it is his brother Peter. The mother believes him and scolded Peter. Even though Sam is just 6 it is not appreciable. It is a sin. If you just say the truth and you are punished. Do not worry, for your just one truth will lead to a good life for you.

Now let’s move on to our last commandment which is "Do Not Covet". The meaning of 'Covet' is Desires. For example, imagine there are two small kids. One of them is having a two or three-layer ice-cream and the other kid is having small ice candy and the kid with small ice candy will have the DESIRE to have the ice cream with many layers. The same DESIRE may encourage him to steal. Coveting often leads to stealing which is against the 8th commandment. Example, 2 businessmen Michel earning $1,000,000 and John earning only $500,000. John is jealous and desires to get more salary than Michel. So John steals the money of Michel, due to which Michel becomes poor, but John becomes rich, but John must be answerable to god on the great judgment day. We must remember that one thing God has blessed each and every human irrespective of the caste, religion, wealth etc. Just we need to be patient and wait for the right time and to be ready to receive it.

I hope you all had a good time during these 6 days learning about the 10 Commandments AMEN.

Road Trip Of Life

Road Trip Of Life Read: Matthew 16:24-26 Then Jesus went to work on his disciples. “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat;  I  am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?  (MSG Version)     We all have been on road trips if not at least a long journey only on road. There are ups and downs in every journey. So is it with a believer? With many tensions and problems to face (no one can say they haven't been through one or will not go through because being a believer is not easy. But do not be discouraged by that but remember after every pain comes with a reward). Every believer has a journey but the destination is the same to be a part of his kingdom. Some maybe Job's, ...

Last Saying Of Christ: 7th Saying

Last Saying Of Christ: 7th Saying Read: Luke 23:46        Jesus's seventh word on the cross was  (Luke 23:46 ) And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, he said: "Father into your hands I commit my spirit .”   Here, Jesus is willingly giving up His soul into the Father’s hands, indicating that He was about to die – and that God had accepted His sacrifice. He “offered up Himself unblemished to God” ( Hebrews 9:14 ).   w hen we see Je sus die, we see two things: the  price paid  to bring us to glory; and the  example given  for how we are to get there. So let's learn from Jesus how to die, by focusing on  Luke 23:44–46 .  These were the final word said by our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. We have many lessons to learn from this; the first one is that "Death is a way to eternal life" this means that though he is going to the grave he will reign all eternity likewise when we die our bodies may go to the grave but o...

Gods Plan Is Much Greater Than Our Plans

Gods Plan Is Much Greater Than Our Plans Read: Isaiah 55:3       God has greater plans for us which are beyond our imagination. Isaiah 55:3 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.", says that God's thoughts and ways are not the same as our thoughts and ways but His thoughts are much bigger than ours as He knows and holds our future in His hands. If we allow God's will to be done in our life we will prosper. But if we deny it and go with our plans some or the other way God will bring us back to His plan again and from that moment, there is no turning back. In 2 Samuel 7, God made a covenant with David. But, David was feeling bad because the Ark Of The Covenant was in a tent and he was in a palace. So he had decided to build a temple of God to keep Ark in it. But God wanted David's son Solomon to build the temple. Do you know why God had rejected David to build the temple?  God had rejected ...
