Grace for your spirit May 8, 2009

                                  Grace for your spirit

HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER (which is the first commandment with a promise), SO THAT IT MAY BE WELL WITH YOU, AND THAT YOU MAY LIVE LONG ON THE EARTH.  Ephesians 6:2-3

We know there are thousands of commands and promises in God’s Word.  These relate to our relationship with God, and our relationship with people.  If there is a “glue” that holds these commands and promises together, that “glue” is honor.  Without honor our relationship with God and other people will fall apart.  The first time that was specifically mentioned was in the Ten Commandments.  God has told us that honoring our father and mother is the formula for a long life and a good life.  Let’s not try to substitute honor with something else.  As Christians, let’s lead the way in displaying honor.  With honor, have a Great Lord’s Day, and a Happy Mother’s Day.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit

Philippians 4:23
