Summary

“We honor our parents by seeing them as God does: human, flawed, forgiven”

God reserves honor for our parents, even those who are the most broken. He sees value in them where you and I may not be able to. He offers them love and forgiveness without condition. So we are to honor them, that it may go well with us.

Ephesians 6:1–4

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.”
