What role does Jesus' obedience play in the concept of honoring parents?

Jesus Christ’s perfect obedience to God the Father exemplifies the true essence of honoring authority. In Philippians 2:8, we read that Christ humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. His example shows that genuine honor and submission are rooted in love and respect for the position of authority. Believers are called to emulate this humility in their relationships with parents and authorities, recognizing that such honor is a reflection of how we are to submit to God Himself.
