Exodus 20:8 - Remember the Sabbath day

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

God expects us to have a rhythm of work and rest.

In America, the idea of a day that is holy to the Lord has been lost in the bustle of productivity. Yet this commandment is on the same par as adultery, murder, and stealing.

God takes rest seriously - so seriously that he created a day for us to enjoy Him and the creation. To rest on the Sabbath is to trust God with the other six days of work.

Exodus 20:13 - You shall not murder

You shall not murder.

Thou shalt not kill.

To not murder another is innate in every major religion on earth. But the Scripture takes this concept further: we are created in God's likeness.

It is interesting to note the word murder in this commandment. Killing at a time of war is seen as a necessary evil, but to murder someone made in the image of God is seen as a desecration of the holy.
