Exodus 20:12
“The law put Jesus on the cross.
The law brings sinners to the cross. The law keeps Christians near the cross.”
-Mike Mazzalongo
It matters what we understand…
1. The Order of the 5th Commandment
–The relationship of children to their parents is first, forever, and foundational.
2. The Obedience to the 5th Commandment
– Honor matters. Honor in Hebrew literally means “heavy” or “weighty.” Honor is really for all of us.
Honor: Children – Obedience. Adults – Respect/Care.
3. The Obstacle to the 5th Commandment
When this world’s relationships are broken, you are not alone.
4. The Outcome of the 5th Commandment
Honoring you as a mother with truth…
- Your worth is in Him
- Your calling is high
- Your enemy is a liar
- Your hope is the gospel
When you honor The Lord, you honor your parents and you parent honorably.
