1
The Duty of Parents
2
Introduction Ancient Israelites had a spiritual obligation to their children (Deut. 6:4-9; Exod. 13:3- 10), as do Christian parents today (Eph. 6:4; Col. 3:21).
3
Examples of Failure Reflect upon the misplaced values of the Antediluvian world (Gen. 6:1-8). Consider the curse that fell upon Eli’s house because his sons were evil and he did not rebuke them (1 Sam. 3:10-14; cf. 2:12-17, 22-25).
4
Examples of Success Note the noble examples of Abraham and Joshua (Gen. 18:19; Josh. 24:15). Ponder the perfect example of Jesus Christ during His youth (Luke 2:51-52). Remember the guidance that Lois and Eunice provided young Timothy (2 Tim. 1:5- 7; 3:13-15).
5
Conclusion Lessons learned in the home follow us through life. How are we doing as parents? Are we fulfilling our God-given roles as fathers and mothers?
6
Challenge Using the time allotted, let us train our children to face the challenges of time and eternity, helping them grow into responsible adulthood, and more importantly, preparing them for heaven.
