The Ten Commandment – 10th Commandment
Bible passage: Exodus 20:17
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”
Dear brothers and sisters, In today’s 11th sermon, we’ll be looking at the 10th Commandment: “You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.” "Neighbor" refers not only to fellow believers but everyone around us including relatives and non-believers. The commandment to “not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor” means more than simply not desiring what others’ possessions; it calls us to let go of all worldly desires. Human greed is endless. No matter how much we possess, we rarely say that it’s enough but continue to seek more.
Yet, even if we attain countless possessions, the thirst in our hearts remains unquenched. Just as rivers never fill the sea, our hearts continue to seek better. God calls us not to seek earthly, perishable things but to pursue what is above. True joy and fulfillment come when we fill our hearts with the hope of eternal life and heaven. Jesus said in Luke 12:15, "Then He said to them, 'Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.'"
May today’s message help you recognize what is truly valuable. Pursue, not the love of the world or worldly desires, but the eternal and incorruptible glory of heaven.
