Topic: OBEDIENCE TO PARENTS
Our text addresses the children of the church. The apostle Paul, writing by inspiration, has a special word for them: "Children, obey your parents." How he must have loved the children of the church! He had no children of his own. Still, he loves the children of the church so much, that he seeks their spiritual wellbeing. And children, your spiritual wellbeing is enjoyed in the way of obeying your parents. So Paul expresses his real, spiritual love for the children of the church, by giving them the command found in our text. Also the pastors and elders of our churches love you, children; and also we desire your salvation. We show that by teaching you about Jesus Christ, your Lord and Savior, and by reminding you of the obligations you have as children of God. The text contains such an obligation: "Obey your parents in the Lord."
