01. The Law
The Law commands: "You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man." Culture idolizes youth; the Bible honors age.
"You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God."
02. The Mechanics
The mechanic is Recognizing History. Elders carry accumulated wisdom. Honoring them connects you to the root. Despising the past leaves you without a foundation.
03. The Application
How do you treat the elderly? Impatience or reverence? Honor calls us to listen and serve. When you honor an elder, you inherit their wisdom without their pain.
