A.W. Pink emphasizes the broader implications of the Fifth Commandment, which calls for honoring not only our parents but all authorities established by God. He explains that this commandment is essential for maintaining order in society and that reverence should be shown to parents, rulers, and spiritual leaders alike, regardless of their worthiness. Pink highlights the reciprocal nature of this duty, urging obedience and respect from children to parents, subjects to rulers, and servants to masters. He also notes the promise of long life associated with honoring one's parents, which serves as both a motivation and a reminder of God's blessings. Ultimately, Pink calls for a return to the divine standard of respect and submission in a world increasingly marked by insubordination.
