It is easy to see how children sin against their parents. Sometimes it is a little more clouded about how parents might sin again their children. In this week’s edition of PathLight we are reminded of the story of Joseph. At one point in the story, Reuben rebuked his brothers for their mistreatment of Joseph some 22 years earlier. He said, "Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required" (Genesis 42:22). The concept of "sinning against the child" should catch our attention. There are many ways parents can be guilty of sinning against their children. Of course, some are pretty obvious.
Dr. T. D. Worthington reminds us that our children are a sacred inheritance from the Lord. As with any stewardship, we must be faithful to the Lord with that which has been entrusted to us. Failure to do this will cost us severely, not only throughout eternity, but even in this life. The wise man wrote, "A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother (Proverbs 10:1) . . . He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow: and the father of a fool hath no joy" (Proverbs 17:21). To guard ourselves from this earthly sorrow, let us not "sin against the child.”
