Having given instructions to husbands and wives concerning their responsibilities to each other, Paul now turns his attention to the children in the family. The Lord has many good things to give to the children through their parents. And this is why Paul says that they should obey them. At this time I would like to explain what kind of obedience this is. 1st of all – The Obedience of children to their parents in the Lord is a right obedience. 2nd – It is an obedience which honors your father and mother. And 3rd – It is an obedience where you will be rewarded by God Himself, according to His promise, with long life. So let's think together now about the great importance which obedience to father and mother are, to the children of the family, and indeed to all of our society as well, in relation to these points.
