Honour your father and mother. On the surface, one of the easier commandments to tick off. But for many people, it's actually the hardest, especially when family is complicated, when parents aren't Christians, when authority has been abused, or when the wounds run deep.
And then Jesus makes it harder. In Luke 14, he says that anyone who doesn't hate their father and mother cannot be his disciple. What is going on?
This message from Exodus 20 and Luke 14 unpacks what honour actually means: not just obedience, but a heart posture, and how following Jesus reorders every relationship we have, putting them where they were always meant to be.
