Honor Your Parents - that it may go well with thee Matthew 15:4 
We never know the love of a parent until we become parents ourselves. 
 -- Henry Ward Beecher 
 
Definition of Honor - to revere, true honor involves praise from the lips and reverence from the heart. Mark 7:6, see John 5:23, 8:49 and1st Timothy 5:3 and 1 Peter 2:17 
 
The Honor We Give to Our Earthly Fathers Is an Expression of the Honor We Are Showing to Our Heavenly Father. 
'Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the Lord.' Leviticus 19:32 
 
Honor vs. Disrespect - Honor is humbling myself in the presence of a God-given authority and expressing my devotion with an appropriate gift. 
To reverence a ruler is to be reminded that God gave him his authority and will work through him to accomplish His will. 
"The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will." Proverbs 21:1 
When we honor a leader, we actually honor ourselves, because the leader represents us. 
"Obey them that have the rule over you and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you." Hebrews 13:17 
God never wastes parents on teenagers. He chooses just the right ones to carry our His bigger plans. 
 
Three Levels of Honor 
1. Honor through obedience - The command to honor parents is not only established in the Ten Commandments and affirmed by the teaching of Jesus but is also reinforced by Paul in the epistles. "Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well-pleasing unto the Lord'- Colossians 3:20 
 
Paul expands this command in Ephesians 6, 'Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou, mayest live long on the earth' - Ephesians 6:1-3 
 
This passage points out that the command to honor parents is the first one to carry with it a promise of reward. The reverse is also tue: To disobey parents is to bring wrath and destruction upon our lives. 
 
Solomon gives a vivid description of such punishment. 'The eye that mocked at his father, and despised to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.; Proverbs 30:17 
 
The instruction of obedience is also explained in Proverbs. 'My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother. Bind them continually upon thine heart and tie them about thy neck. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepiest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest it shall talk with thee. 
For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman' Proverbs 6:20-24 
 
Obedience to parents is acting with the knowledge that God directs through them to do good. 
"Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right." Ephesians 6:1 
"Ye shall be holy: for I the Lord your God am holy. Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father." Leviticus 19:2-3 
 
2. Honor through wisdom. When a Hebrew boy reaches the age of thirteen, he officially passes from being a child to being an adult. A Special ceremony formally marks his becoming a "on of the commandment" (bar mitzvah). By this age, he is expected to have an obedient spirit toward his parents, but an even higher loyalty to the commandments of God, so that if his parents ask him to do something that is contrary to the Law of God, he cannot do it. (This is the case with Asa and his "mother.' 
 As a young man, he is personally responsible to God for his words, thoughts, and actions. He will be judged by God and others on the basis of his wisdom or foolishness. 
 
Scripture states: A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother Proverbs 10:1. 
 Wise children will continue to follow Godly counsel and instruction they received from their parents. 
As Scripture says, "A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not rebuke" Proverbs 13:1 
 
As the son gets older and is required to make more and more decisions, he will also be open and responsive to the counsel of his father and mother. "Hearken unto thy father that begat thee and despise not thy mother when she is old" Proverbs 23:22 
 The transfer from being under the direct authority of the parents to being under the counsel of the parents can produce some tensions, as it did in the life of Jesus when he reached this significant age. 
 
A son who delights in the Lord and His word is a wise son who makes a father happy. "Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son...." Proverbs 28:7 
 
Choosing wise friends' honors parents. Pro28:7 
3. Honor with support when parents become old.

01/02/2022 - COC - Honor Your Parents - Matthew 15:4 - That it may go well with thee.

The Study of the Commands of Christ - He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him. John 14:21 
 
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." Matthew 7:7-8 
 
Study Question: Why did God promise to deliver His people from the bondage of Egypt and then lead them into a wilderness with no water or food? 
 
The Purpose of Prayer - God is love, and love deepens by intimate fellowship. When God created Adam and Eve, He walked and talked with them in the cool of the day. 
When God led the nation of Israel into the wilderness, He wanted their need to draw them close to Him for intimate fellowship. Deuteronomy 8:2 Similarly, God desires fellowship with each one of us. He urges us to tell Him every detail of our needs in earnest and thankful prayer, and His peace that transcends human understanding will keep constant guard over our hearts, and minds as they rest in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 
 
The Requirement of Fervency - Prayer, to most of us, is simply asking God for what we need and expecting Him to somehow give it to us. That is not the concept in this command. Asking is simply the first step in receiving something from God. The one who asks must also fulfill the next two steps of seeking and knocking. 
For asking to be effective, it must be fervent, and it must come from a righteous person. "The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" James 5:16. 
If prayer was simply a matter of asking God for what we need and having Him give it to us, we would not understand the need for the deep and continuing relationship that comes by fervent asking, diligent seeking, and persistent knocking. 
 
Prayer and Crying Out - Listen to the video and read Psalm 39:12, Psalm 34:6, Exodus 3:7-8, 1st Kings 17:21-22, Matthew 15:28, Luke 18:38-43, Psalm 116:1-2 
 
What a Cry Represents - Listen to the video (4 things) and read Jeremiah 29:13, Psalm 67:1, Matthew 28:18 
 
Important Factors for Asking - The word used by Jesus to describe our requests is aiteo. It depicts the petition of one in a lesser position to a superior. It means to "to ask, beg, call for, crave." It is distinguished from erotao, which more frequently indicates making a request of one who is on an equal level. 
The consistent urging of the Lord to pray is enhanced by the promises that accompany those instructions. "Ask, and it shall be given you... For everyone one that asketh receiveth' Matthew 7:7-8 "ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full" John 16:24. "If ye ask anything in my name, I will do it" John 14:14. 
 
See the video and review: 
1Ask the right person Exodus 16:8 
2Ask with the right standing John 1:12, Matthew 7:9, 11 
3Ask in faith James 1:6-7, Matthew 9:29 
4Ask in total dependance Luke 11:5-8 
5Ask to benefit others Luke 11:5-6, Matthew 6:10 
6Ask according to His will James 4:3 
7Ask in Jesus' name John 14:14 - To ask for something in the name of Jesus means that we request those things that are consistent with His name. 
* Bread - I am the bread of life John 6:35 
* Water - Jesus is the living water John 3:5, 4:10 
* Wisdom - To the only wise God our Saviour Jude 1:25 
* Truth - I am the way, the truth, and the life John 14:6 
* Peace - My peace I give unto you John14:27, Isiah 9:6 
* Holy Spirit - If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luke 11:13 
 
How to Seek 
 If we ask according to the requirements of God, our requests will be granted. The nation of Israel asked for bread, and the Lord gave them manna. However, the Israelites had to be diligent and resourceful to gather it daily. 
 In a similar way, we must be diligent to seek after God and the answers and provisions He has given in response to our requests. "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you" Matthew 6:33 
 
See the video and review: 
1 Seek after God -Psalm 105:4, 2 Chronicles 26:5 
2 Seek Him with a whole heart Jeremiah 29:13 
3 Seek Him everyday Matthew 6:11 
4 Seek Him early in the day Psalm 63:1 
5 Seek Him with forgiveness Matthew 6:12 
6 Seek God with generosity Luke 6:38, James 4:3 
7 Seek Christ's commands John 14:21 
 
How to Knock Knock at the right door Luke 11:5 
2 Knock with persistence Luke 11:7-8, Luke 18:2-7 
3 Knock out of respect - Door are designed to keep out unwanted guests 
4 Knock Loudly - the importance of the need is expressed in the loudness of a cry 
 
How does this command reveal Christ? John 6:57-58, John 4:14, 1Cor 10:1-4 
How did Jesus follow this command? 
1 He asked John 17:9-10, Psalm 2:8 
2 He sought Luke 19:10 
3 He knocks Rev 3:20 
 
Look to His Divine Power 2 Pet 1:3
