Most people would correlate the word “rebellious” with teenagers. All parents have a reasonable fear of the time when their cute little tykes will become big, rebellious teens. Today’s teenagers resent authority of any kind, especially that of their parents, and that explains the sole reason for their “rebelliousness.” Jesus says, “Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee” (Exodus 20:12 ASV). This verse banishes any of the justification that teenage rebellion has to occur. God expects us to honor our parents whether we agree with them or not. That means we have to rebel against something quite different than authority. We have to rebel against resentful attitudes toward our parent’s authority, we have to rebel against what the world tells us we should naturally express, and we have to rebel against acting rebellious at all times.
