| Honoring Parents June 11, 2010 "Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee." and starts the second set of instructions in Exodus 20 for godly living. While the first four commandments focus on our relationship with God Himself, the last six are designed to protect and enhance our relationship with each other. Among all human relationships, the family becomes the for learning. Human government and nationality have their place in our relationships between and among each other, but the home to establish functional authority. The home is the place to exercise the discipline that will even involve the withholding of reward or privilege Government struggles and society reels when homes are negligent in establishing obedience to rules. The promise of a long life is based upon the child obeying require care or assistance in their later years The Lord Jesus submitted Himself to this authority it woud follow that He upheld this commandment and honored His earthly parents just as He honored His heavenly Father. The honor given to parents is even extended to all elderly followed by all families. HMM III |
