TOPIC: HONOUR YOUR PARENTS
📖 TODAY'S TEXT:
Deuteronomy 5:16; Malachi 1:6; Matthew 15:4
🔑 KEY VERSE:
"Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with a promise)" (Eph. 6:2).
🖊️ COMMENTARY
In September 2018, a Chinese court jailed a man for two years for neglecting his ageing father. His four sisters were also handed suspended jail sentences for ignoring their dad who died a "lonely death at home" at the age of 80 because none of his children agreed to return from the cities to care for him.
The case of the Zhang children may sound novel or even unusual in the Western legal system but the Chinese do have a law which makes it a crime for children to fail to care for their elderly parents. However, before anyone else enacted that law, God the Father had handed down the same law to Moses for His chosen people in all ages. He made it part of the timeless canon of the Ten Commandments from which all existing moral and ethical laws derive.
Take note of the two promises attached to honoring your parents: first, that your days may be prolonged (that is long life); second, that it may go well with thee (that is success or prosperity). If you truly seek these two benefits, then take steps to care for your parents today even if they don't seem to deserve it by your experience.
