Honor and Order: Luther on the Fourth Commandment

Episode Description

“Honor your father and your mother.”

In this episode, we hear Martin Luther expound the Fourth Commandment from the Large Catechism.

Luther teaches that this commandment is far more than childhood obedience — it is the foundation of all earthly authority. Through parents, family, and those placed over us, God preserves order in a fallen world. To honor them is to honor God Himself.

In an age marked by rebellion and contempt for authority, this teaching calls us back to humility, gratitude, and faithfulness in our vocations.

This episode is a devotional reading meant to strengthen Christians in their callings within the home, church, and society.
