What do Esther and Partik admit?
Esther admits that she felt at some point that it was not worth talking to her parents, because they had different tastes. She didn't want to be seen as a child, she felt like an adult and she liked being treated that way. When her parents tried to talk to Esther, she ignored them, she treated them like they didn't matter. Partik felt that it was difficult to communicate with her parents, because they grew up in another country and spoke another language. He admits that he couldn't express what he really felt, because they didn't understand him.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
They both thought that their parents were from another time and that it was no use talking to them because they had very different thoughts and points of view. So no matter how much they talk to them, they won't understand how they feel.
These two brothers admit that they felt that it was not worth talking to their parents, because they were from another generation, they also did not want to feel like adults and to be treated as such, also when their parents were interested in asking them how things had gone, they say that they felt that their parents were too involved in their affairs.
Then they themselves, as they progressed more spiritually, realized that it was not easy to talk to them, since they behaved differently when they were in the congregation, than when they were at home, even one of the young people said that it was like living in two different worlds, but in the end he comes to the conclusion that he should have made an effort to talk more with his parents, so things would have gone better.
What can you learn from Jesus?
We can learn a lot about Jesus, he is very approachable and easy to talk to. From Jesus we can learn that he did not make decisions on his own, but he consulted with his father who is God.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Jesus, a perfect man, did not lean on his own understanding, but sought help from his parents. And he, as a perfect man, is the one who above all others would have the right to make his own decisions, but he didn't. This teaches us that with more reason, we should consult and seek advice from our parents.
Although Jesus was perfect, he did not make decisions by himself, but always sought his father's guidance, for example Luke 6:12 says that Jesus spent a whole night praying to his father, so if he was so wise towards that we should do the same.
How have your parents shown that they love you?
They show us that they love us, giving us advice, opinions, helping us with whatever we need. They want us to do well and be happy.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Our parents have always been there for us when we were little and could not independently fend for ourselves. And they are also there for us when we can already make our own decisions. There is no person who does such a thing, except God, that is why we must value and love our parents as they do for us.
Well, being a father really takes a lot of work since we are born and for many years our parents have done things for us daily, many make great sacrifices to raise their children, so we must think about how they feel if we do not even give them we thank them or we keep them out of our lives.
What biblical principles will help you talk with your parents?
The texts in Luke 6:12 about asking Jehovah for help and verse 31 about putting ourselves in his place are very helpful and practical. The video also mentions in Colossians 4:6 that we are to be kind. These principles will help us in our relationship and communication with our parents.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Principles such as Luke 6:12, where it says that we should ask Jehovah for help to achieve it, also Colossians 4:6, which says that we should be kind, and Luke 6:31, which mentions the importance of putting ourselves in the place of others. others.
There are three biblical principles that could help us to be able to communicate more with our parents. These verses are:
Luke 6:12. In this verse we can see that Jesus did not make decisions alone, he prayed to God for help and advice. Just as we have to do with our parents, we have to seek their guidance, because they only want the best for us.
Colossians 4:6. In the verse he talks about the words having to be pleasant. We also have to do that with our parents, there are times when we inadvertently offend or hurt, but we have to do better and talk to our parents with more affection.
Luke 6:31. Here he talks about that we have to treat others as we would like them to treat us. We have to think about our parents, because it is not easy to be a parent and educate a child. There are times when we do not put ourselves in their place. And we have to be thankful for everything they have done for us.
