Musing Through Matthew- The Honor Of Parents

Let  us muse again  today from Matthew 15: 4-6 and the  theme of Jesus the king. In our text today our Lord  deals with the honor of  parents. The great commandment of promise is here in play that you are to  honor  your parents that your days upon the earth may be long. Our Lord  brings up here  a tradition of saying Corbin the word for a gift when speaking of assets that a person would use to help their parents. This cry Corbin was to say that the assets were set aside for the Temple. Our Lord said any ploy to keep from honoring parents is a violation of the command.
