"Honor Your Father And Your Mother"

The “first commandment with promise” is to “Honor your father and your mother” (Exodus 20:12; cf. Ephesians 6:2). While this promise was physical in nature, there can be no doubt that many will miss heaven because of their narrow selfish hearts shutting out feeble and needy parents.

True followers of Christ will truly “honor” their parents — especially in old age.
