Do not defraud: Honor your Father and Mother


"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you." -John 15:12



After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass.

So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you. -Matthew 7:12

Why does God care how we treat our parents?
There are three partners in the making of a human being:

  • Father
  • Mother
  • God
God is involved!

God often describes his relationship with us in filial terms:

  • Malachi 1:6
  • Isaiah 64:8
  • The Lord’s Prayer
