As we cover the commandments this summer, commandment #6 tells us “Do not murder” delving deeply into the biblical understanding of human life's sanctity. Jesus lets us know that murder is more than just physical killing, but also includes relational and emotional destruction through anger, bitterness, and dehumanization. Committing murder can be a heart condition, not just a physical act. Pastor Seth emphasizes that all human life is valuable because it is created in God's image, and he challenges us to examine our hearts, practice forgiveness, and seek reconciliation rather than harboring anger or writing people off. And we can stop labeling people according to their sin, but defining them by their potential in Christ.
