Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
Colossians 3:20 HCSB
Good morning fellow disciples.
Remember that this verse in context is speaking to persons who are disciples of Christ. In context it speaks to a saved family.
Children, saved and sanctified, are told to obey their God fearing parents in all things. This is a family of disciples who are seeking to live for God. God has given authority to the parents.
Children, obey the ones who God had authorized to lead you! Your obedience honors God.
Prayer: Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive.
Above all, put on love — the perfect bond of unity. And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts.
Be thankful. Let the message about the Messiah dwell richly among you, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, and singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, with gratitude in your hearts to God.
And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
Amen
Colossians 3:12-17 HCSB
