Jesus Said Do Not Covet (10th Commandment)
Did you know that Jesus mentioned the 10th Commandment only once? And when He did, He used the word ‘envy’ instead of the word ‘covet’? Before starting The Jesus Said Project, I did not know this interesting trivia fact.

10th Commandment: Do Not Covet
In Exodus 20:1, “…God spoke […]
Jesus Said Honor Your Father and Mother (5th Commandment)
The 5th Commandment was repeated frequently by Jesus when He was teaching on earth. If you had good parents, it is easy to understand and agree with this teaching. However, what if your parents were less than perfect, or even abusive? Does the teaching still hold true?

Jesus Said He is King (1st Commandment)
We wrap up these studies on the 1st Commandment by looking at scripture where Jesus said He is King. Up to that point, Jesus had used parables to allude to his status as King, but He had told no one who He really was except His disciples. Now, near […]
Jesus Said You Have One Master (1st Commandment)
Why do we call people on earth ‘father’ when Jesus said not to? (Of course, this does not include our biological father because God said, “Honor your father and your mother…” when He gave us the 5th Commandment in Exodus 20:12.) What about religious tradition that uses the title […]
