Children's talk - The 4th Commandment



The Fourth Commandment
Honor your father and mother.

God wants us to be happy to help our parents and obey them.

God also wants us to obey the people who help take care of us when we are at home or at other places.

This is right.


Luke 2:41-52 - Jesus listened to grown ups in charge

When Jesus was 12 years old Mary and Joseph took Him to the temple in Jerusalem. They went with friends and family. Jerusalem was crowed. There were many people there. When it was time to go home Jesus stayed in Jerusalem.

Mary and Joseph thought Jesus was walking with His friends. That night they could not find Him. They were worried. Jesus was lost. After three days they found Jesus at the Temple. Jesus was listening and asking questions about God. Mary said, “We have been worried about you!” Jesus said, “I had to come to my Father’s house.” Jesus went home with Mary and Joseph. Jesus obeyed them. God blessed Jesus and He grew wise and strong.

Children obey your parents in all things for this is well pleasing to the Lord” – Colossians 3:20

Dear God,
Thank You for giving me my parents. Help me to always love and obey them as Jesus did. Amen

And Jesus kept on growing in mind and body and God loved him more and more and so did the people who knew him. – Luke 2:52
