By the F a th e r’ s command, Jesus restated, rm xiiiie d and am pli fied some of the command ments brought by M o s e s . One commandment with which Jesus took lib e rtie s was the command: "H o n o r thy fa th e r -nd they m o th e r.” r ie u t.5 :I6 . Here Is the in te rpre ta tion of that commandment as given bv Jesus: " C a ll no man on earth F a th e r: fo r one is y o u r f ath- e i, which Is InHeaven. v ia n . 23:9. A ccording to this com mandment those who obey are required to reserve the term F a th e r for God only, and nei ther e a rth ly parent, n o rp r lest nor pope is to be cal led F ith e r. You w ill note that Jesus did not c a ll God b ya n yo tlie i name ex cept F a th e r' And He om - m a nr led men to do ikewise. And as fo r llis m o tlie r je s u a said to her on occa sio n,"W o man, what have 1 to do with thee?” And when His mother and brethren came to where Jesus was Instructing th e d ls - cip les He did not receive her. In fact. He pu blicly disavowed H is m other; When H is mother and brethren stood without, a d is c ip le told Him tliey were there, but Jesus turner! away fro m them toward H is d is cip le s and said, "W ho is my m other and m y b re th re n ? " And He looked round about on them which ta t about Him , and sald,” Behold my m other and m y brethren: fo r whosoever shall do the w ill of God, the same is my bro th er, and my s is te r and m othe r.” M ark 4:31-35. In Luke it la stated that He was to ld ,"T h y m other and thy brethren stand without. ami ev idem I y approves, of his ch ild re n c a llin g him fa th e r.

The act of Jesus In pu blicly disavowing I lls m other M a ry. If Jesus had fo r a moment turner] fro m doing the perfect w ill of H is Pather to acknow ledge and honor H is m other M ir y , would He not have been something less than the pe r fect Son of God, doing the p e r fect w ill of G od-som ething less than the perfect Saviour Jesus C h ris t? Many w ill not look at It this way. Does not one who liv e s the obedient heavenly life honor his pa rents tru ly In the greatest way pos sible? Even though Jesus said, ” |n vain do tliey w orship me, teaching fo r do ctrine s th e commandments of men . . . F u ll w ell ye reject the com mandment of Cori, that ye may keep your own tra d itio n .” M ark 7:7,9.
