Sunday, March 16

Be obedient to your parents in union with the Lord, for this is righteous.—Eph. 6:1.

 

Young people are surrounded by peers who tend to be “disobedient to parents.” (2 Tim. 3:1, 2) Why do many of them disobey? Some feel that their parents are hypocritical. The children are expected to do what the parents themselves fail to do. Others view their parents’ advice as outdated, impractical, or overly strict. If you are a young person, do you ever feel that way? Many find it difficult to apply Jehovah’s command found in today’s text. What can help you to do so? You can learn obedience from the best example—Jesus. (1 Pet. 2:21-24) He was a perfect human with imperfect parents. But Jesus honored his parents even when they made mistakes and misunderstood him at times.—Ex. 20:12. w23.10 7 ¶4-5
