Ten Commandments In The Light Of Jesus Christ | Meditations On The Love Of Jesus Christ
Looking at Jesus’ life and teachings, we see how important it is to honour our parents. Jesus Himself showed respect and obedience to his parents, Mary and Joseph. Jesus grew up under their care, learning from them and being a loving and responsible son.
Jesus taught his followers to value their parents and to treat them well. He said that those who take care of their parents are doing the right thing. Jesus also showed love and concern for his mother, even when he was suffering on the cross. Jesus made sure she was taken care of by one of his close disciples.
Jesus taught us that family is not only about blood relationships but also about treating others with love and respect. He said that anyone who does the will of God is like family to him. So, as followers of Jesus, we should honour our parents and all those who have cared for us, showing them love, gratitude, and forgiveness.
Let us remember Jesus’ example and strive to honor our parents by listening to them, respecting them, and appreciating the sacrifices they have made for us. Let us be patient and understanding, seeking forgiveness and reconciliation when needed. May our relationships with our parents reflect the love and grace of Jesus in our lives.
‘Honor your father and mother’ (Matthew 19:19, KJV).
