““Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.”” Ephesians 6:2-3 (NIV)
This meditation is prepared for a special day, a day with a special name. We call it Mother's Day and we are glad that it is set aside for this special purpose – to honor our mothers and to show them our love. The writer of this letter to the Church at Ephesus was quoting from the Ten Commandments recorded in Exodus, chapter 20. In the teachings of Jesus, He referred several times to this same commandment. When we honor our Mothers we are obeying God's command. Mother's Day is not just a human creation, it acknowledges what God wants us to do in respect to our parents. God has honored mothers and today we want to do the same in a special way. We take notice that this is a special command by God because with it He gave a promise to those who follow the command.
