Exodus 20:1-2, 12

I. What is the Nature of this Honor?

II. Who is Due this Honor?

III. Why Do We Need this Commandment?

“Children need parental guidance more than they know and impoverish themselves by rejecting it.  The long life promised in Exodus 20:12 and Deuteronomy 5:16 to those who honor their parents is not guaranteed to any Christian, but it remains true that children who flout their parents suffer loss.  They forfeit a degree of human maturity and make it harder for themselves to honor a Father in heaven.” ~  J.I. Packer
