Dishonoring of Father or Mother – Violation of the Fifth Commandment
1. The command to honour parents
Thou knowest the commandments, . . . Honour thy father and mother (Mark 10:19).
2. Transgressions of commandments to honour parents
Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother (Matt 15:3-4).
3. The law’s judgment on a wicked son
For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death (Mark 7:10).
4. The evasion of duty through traditions of men
But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition (Matt 15:5-6).
5. The sin of evading the son’s responsibility of care for parents
And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye (Mark 7:12-13).
6. Sin of misusing father’s inheritance
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living . . . I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants (Luke 15:12-13, 18-19).
7. Sin of not loving a father’s erring son
Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf . . . It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: ‘for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found (Luke 15:25-32).
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all (I Timothy 4:15).
