You need to pass a QuerySet of message objects as context to the render(…) function [Django-doc], thus:

from django.shortcuts import render, HttpResponse
from .models import message

def index(request):
    messages = message.objects.all()
    return render(request, 'Home/index.html', {'message': messages})

Usually model names are written in PascalCase, not snake_case. I therefore advise to rename your class to:

from django.db import models

class Message(models.Model):
    your_message = models.CharField(max_length=50)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.your_message

In the view you then query to that model, and pass it to messages to the template, not message:

from django.shortcuts import render, HttpResponse
from .models import Message

def index(request):
    messages = Message.objects.all()
    return render(request, 'Home/index.html', {'messages': messages})

Then we render this by iterating over the messages variables:

{% for message in messages  %}
     <h2>{{ message.your_message }}</h2>
{% endfor %}
