We may fool those around us, but will never deceive the One who looks into our hearts to discern our true motives. God forbid! And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven.
That is why blasphemies will pour forth from the mouth of his incarnate counterfeit. And when we break this commandment, we only make him smile, and his job easier! The Fourth Commandment You may have already observed that the first three commandments deal strictly with our relationship to God. Many erroneously believe that the Ten Commandments are strictly civil laws governing our relationships with one another.
The Fourth Commandment is the pivotal law which bridges the commandments dealing with God and the remainder which deal with Man. And its basis and model was God Himself! Observe it below. For the Sabbath was a sign of the covenant God established between Himself and His people. Circle what God did on the seventh day.
It is imperative to always observe the context of a word in order to determine its specific meaning. The Basis for This Commandment Interestingly, God appeals to the creation account as the basis for this commandment. By so doing, He is establishing the historical truthfulness of the first chapter of Genesis.
Current thinking believes that the universe and all living creatures were established by purely naturalistic processes, and regards the creation account as a simple explanation by a primitive society. God has trumped that kind of thinking! As a non-Christian zoology major, I too believed that the Theory of Evolution, which states that all living things evolved from simple life forms, which themselves emerged millions of years ago from the non-living ooze of the primordial earth, was the best explanation for the existence of the variety of living things around us.
After presenting evidence of micro changes which are observed in nature, scientists unethically and erroneously conclude that such evidence proves the macro changes that must occur for Evolution to be true, changes that have not been observed in nature nor in the fossil record.
No need to mention the complete lack of evidence for the emergence of life forms from inanimate material. Yet educators around the world continue to preach this theory, some of them admitting, because the alternative is unacceptable to them. How many times have we used this God given gift to squeeze in an extra day of work? Note that God is not against work, for He expected us to be so involved for six days. Observe the following passage which foreshadows the fourth commandment.
By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. Genesis Why did God rest on the seventh day? God knows, if we do not, that our minds and bodies need regular rest in order to operate at peak efficiency. Our physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual welfare depends on periods of refreshment which God has commanded us to take.
For sure, this imperative was revolutionary in a time when masters required their servants to work 7 days a week, and most working people did the same. The fourth commandment supplants that work schedule with one that values the worker more than the work.
However, we have reverted back to viewing people, not for who they are, but for what they can do for us. Work has become a god to many, and the source of their significance, security and self-worth. This commandment seeks to guard us from that mistake. There is something wrong and we need to rethink whether we are taking on too much or whether we are doing too many nonessentials.
One thing is true, and that is that God values us more than what we can do for Him. If we will obey His command and place Him first in our lives, He will ensure that all our needs will be added unto us. God did not intend the sabbath to be a day for carnal pursuits, entertainment and revelry, but to devote ourselves to things sacred rather than secular things which monopolize our time during the week.
It is to be a day when we can focus on the Creator in order to gain the proper perspective and foundation for the dizzying things that encompass our lives during the other six days. God specified precisely what He had in mind for the Israelites as He applied this command for them.
You shall not do any work; it is a sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings. Circle to whom the sabbath is. Underline where the sabbath is to be celebrated. The Israelites celebrated the Sabbath in the Temple, in the synagogues and in their houses.
Friday afternoons were spent cleaning their homes in preparation for the Shabbat service when, as a family, they shared a special meal as the setting sun signaled the start of the Sabbath day.
Christians have partially kept that tradition, though on the first day of the week instead of the seventh. But we must always be careful of turning that day into a string of busy church activities that distract from God. Otherwise, like Martha, we will have allowed the good things to keep us from the best!
There are, however, no Scriptures specifically explaining nor endorsing this change. The Fifth Commandment The Fifth Commandment is the first dealing strictly with our relationship with one another and targets the first primary relationship we all experience, our relationship with our parents.
Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you. We can honor our parents by living in such a way as to glorify, not disgrace, them. To dishonor our parents, then, is to dishonor God, defy His authority and reject His sovereign plan.
But this commandment prohibits this growing trend. Study Leviticus , 32 below. To honor our parents is to have great respect, and even fear for their God given place of authority in the family. Why is reverence for our parents so important to God?
Because without it, you will be unable to fulfill the next step outlined below. For God it is an imperative for children to obey their parents. Study the passage below. Though the show has slipped into nostalgia, its title is still remembered, evoking a sense of a time long past. Why do parents know best? Not that older people always know what is the right way, but by trial and lots of errors, they have at least learned what not to do.
And that can save a lot of heartache, and even serious tragedies, for the less experienced. Jesus Honored His Parents The example was set by Jesus who, at the age of twelve, spent an extended Passover in Jerusalem discussing the Scriptures with the teachers in the Temple, and then returned with His father and His mother to Nazareth until the start of His ministry when He was about thirty years of age.
Study the passage of this account below. And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. If Jesus, who was God incarnate, lived in subjection to His earthly parents, how much more should we! The punishment was no mere probation, nor even limited time in a juvenile detention center, but execution.
Yes, death! Study the punishment, below. What is the significance of the severity of the punishment for this offense? That parents were to instill a deep respect for authority both inside and outside the home was evident. Children who disobeyed their parents did so under the threat of execution by a justice system established by God. He does not tolerate the rebellious child, and neither should we, for ultimately, the purpose of the Fifth Commandment is security and life How would instituting this punishment change your society today?
Dishonoring of Parents Will Increase in the Last Days 1 2 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. Evil will be rampant and life for the godly will become almost unbearable. Society will condone all manner of sin and denounce the righteousness of God. The Sixth Commandment The Command is simply stated. This is evidenced not only by this commandment, but by the punishment administered for violating it.
My grandson and I haven't gotten thru all the pages yet. I found it very educative and helpful, the children did enjoy activities. Thank you for the work knowledge you share with Sunday School teachers. I am grateful that your company is willing to share an example of the Bible Lessons that are written and presented, but especially for the ones that have young children in mind.
It's great to know that Christian literature is readily available for Sunday School teachers, too. I teach K-2nd Sunday School.
