Jesus is the ultimate example of a son honoring his father. He listened to his Father's voice and did only what he heard from his Father. His love for his Father and desire to please him was so great that he could say, "He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him" (John 5:23). Their will was one.

Obedience and honor are interconnected. The Apostle Paul wrote that Jesus humbled himself and "became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross."

Point to ponder: God has promised to bless those who honor their parents.

Scripture to remember: "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right," (Ephesians 6:1).

Question to consider: How do you honor your parents?
