Obey Your Parents.

Obey Your Parents.

Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Colossians 3:20 NKJV

The duties of children and parents: Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing unto the Lord. They must be willing to do all their lawful commands, and be at their direction and disposal; as those who have a natural right and are fitter to direct them than themselves. The apostle (Ephesians 6:2) requires them to honour as well as obey their parents; they must esteem them and think honourably of them, as the obedience of their lives must proceed from the esteem and opinion of their minds. And this is well-pleasing to God, or acceptable to him; for it is the first commandment with promise (Ephesians 6:2), with an explicit promise annexed to it, namely, That it shall be well with them, and they shall live long on the earth. Dutiful children are the most likely to prosper in the world and enjoy long life. And parents must be tender, as well as children obedient. - Matthew Henry
