Exodus 20:12 - “The Fifth Commandment”
from Faith Sermons Hosted by Faith Reformed Presbyterian Church
Pastor JD de Klerk Scripture Readings: Ephesians 6:1-9; Colossians 3:18-4:1 Summary: The fifth commandment calls believers to honor father and mother, understood broadly to include all superiors—political, ancient, spiritual, and domestic. Honor involves reverence, obedience, and gratitude, flowing from love for God and neighbor. God attaches a promise of long life to this command, showing his delight when families and societies keep it intact. Jesus perfectly honored his earthly parents, even from the cross, and is the true motivation for keeping this commandment. Believers should examine their relationship with their parents and seek reconciliation and renewed honor where needed.
