The Fifth Commandment
Invocation
Text/Memory
You shall not murder.
What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not hurt or harm our neighbor in his body, but help and support him in every physical need.
Devotional Thought
Confession
What does this commandment give us to confess? Have you
ever thought about the physical needs of others? When your parents are tired,
do you help them? It isn’t just hitting or hurting, or even killing, that
breaks this commandment. Jesus says that even hating someone breaks this
commandment. Confess your sins to God and remember: Jesus died and rose for
your so your sins are forgiven.
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Blessing
The grace of our Lord + Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all. Amen.
