Dear friends,
The visitation serves the friends of
the deceased by providing a proper
setting for them to express their
feelings of loss and offer sympathy
and support to the grieving family.
This is important, as it is not just the
family that has the need to grieve and
to say goodbye.

RIGHT RELATIONSHIPS WITH PARENTS
Matthew 15:1-14
As Christ's popularity increased, due largely to the
miracles which He wrought, the opposition of His
enemies became more intense and satanic.
The Delegation ? 15:1-2
Scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem came where
Christ was for the purpose of hearing what He was say
ing, seeing what He was doing, and asking Him ques
tions. In the hope of ensnaring Him by their clever ques
tions, discrediting Him in the eyes of the people, and in
creasing their own popularity, these formalist dealt
with small matters, primarily 'the tradition of the
elders.' They had great reverence for the rules and
regulations transmitted orally from the most famous
rabbis of the past, and ascribed the most extravagant
praise to the oldest ones. In accusing Christ's disciples
of neglecting to wash their hands before they ate, they
were trying to hold Him responsible for their failure to
observe ceremonial washing.
The Declaration -15:3-6
Christ asked the critics, 'Why do ye also transgress
the commandment of God by your tradition?' Those
who accused the disciples of violating a human precept
were guilty of violating the command of God, which was
far worse. Christ declared that some who used tradition
evaded their God-given responsibilities to their parents.
He said that there were those who were so selfish,
stingy, and greedy that they refused their responsibility
to support their aged and needy parents. Far too many
of their kind live in our country today.
Under the guise of devotion to God, they evaded their
duty to their aged parents, who lacked the bare
necessities of life, by declaring that their property had
been dedicated to God and, therfore, could not be used
for their support. However, these shrewd and greedy
legalists were at liberty to use such possessions for
themselves, or in any other manner that seemed
desirable to them. The placing of the traditions of men
above the written Word of God, and such dishonesty and
deceit merited the condemnation of Christ and all right
thinking people.
The Denunciation ? 15: 7-9
Such selfish and heartless conduct was extremely
despicable because it was done in the name of religion,
and only for the purpose of a an outward show. Such in
consistency and hypocrisy were abominable in the sight
of the Lord, who always refuses to accept lip service in
the place of the love of the heart and the devotion of the
life. Our Lord boldly and bluntly denounced the formal
and vain worship of those who pretended to honor Him
with their lips, but their hearts were far from Him.
The Defilement 15: 10-14
Realuing the futility of saying more to the obstinate
and perverse scribes and Pharisees, Christ turned to
the common people standing close by, and told them
that the things which defile a person are not from
without but within. Defilement is not a matter of the
food which has been consumed, but the thoughts,
motives, and intentions of the heart which find expres
sion in words and in deeds. The condition of the heart
determines the quality of the life. That which is within
a person is what defiles his thinking, speaking, and
acting.
Exodus 20: 12
Fundamental to a good home and a happy family is
the respect and reverence of children for their parents.
God said, 'Honor thy father and thy mother,' and that
commandment has never been abrogated. 'Honor' in
cludes respect, reverence, submission, gratitude, con
sideration, love, and obedience. This commandment
does not tell us to honor our parents only while we are
young, or only if they are all that they are ought to be.
We are to hold our parents in high esteem, always show
true affection for them, be obedient to them, and pro
vide for them in their old age if they need assistance.
Honoring parents contributes to wholesome and happy
family relationships and to strength of character.
