What the Bible says about Revering Parents
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Leviticus 19:3 The word "fear" is a softened translation of the Hebrew word. The margin says, "You shall revere your parents." That is a stronger word, which is normally reserved for God. We revere God, but He directs us here to revere our parents. Parents have an awesomely high calling, and that calling is to be respected by the children because the reverence that God expects children to give their parents precedes the reverence He expects to come to Him when He initiates a relationship with them. This reverence for parents prepares us to revere God. John W. Ritenbaugh Sanctification and the Teens Related Topics: Reverence | Reverence Toward Parents
