4 | Is this promise real? | Eph 6:3 | JCrichton | 116674 | ||
Hi, Xenoid! Think about our limitations... The only commandment that has a built in clause is Exodus 20:12... I believe that God is directing us to behave with love and generosity towards our parents for seveal reasons: * They have authority over us, conflicting minds tend to draw apart--how can we learn from our parents and be guided by them if we are disrespectul and disobedient? * Parents, the father mostly, represents God--how can a Christian claim to love Yahweh and yet have his/her heart and mind set against Mom and Dad? * Life! There is nothing like a dose of failure or betrayal to destroy self-esteem--loving and respecting our parents will keep a safety jacket at arms-reach just when we need one! * Life's cycle: we are inseminated, we are born, we grow, we grow old, we die... As infants, children, young adults, and adults Christian parents care for their offsprings. Yet, due to the cycle of life, parents grow old and become as vulnerable as children and infants; with their parents before them most definitely dead, who would care for them better then their Christian sons and daughters? I see this built in clause as the one in "Our Father." Jesus taught that we are to forgive others as we seek God's forgiveness! God Bless! Angel |
