The Bible specifically tells us that we should honour our parents, especially as recorded in the 10 commandments. Remember that Jesus mentioned in Matthew 22:37-40 that
Jesus said to him, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38. This is the first and greatest of the commandments. 39. The second is the same, that is, to love others as yourself. 40. These two commandments are the summation of all the doctrine of the law and the prophets.
Jesus divided the 10 commandments into two parts, first, to love God, and second, to love others. Then honouring one's parents is the first commandment recorded in the second part. To love people, then, is of course to love God, followed by parents and then other brothers and sisters.
May we all take special time to celebrate with our families on this special Mother's Day. God bless.
