You likely have heard the phrase “act like you have some home training.” Most know exactly what that means. It’s the warning we got from our guardians whenever we ventured from home, especially when we were out of their sight. Our parents issued that warning to us out of love, but also to make sure we didn’t embarrass them. This phrase and others like it are a way for parents to be present even when they cannot be seen by their children. It is a reminder that rings in the heads of children, especially when they are about to engage in behavior that would not be befitting of proper character.

Beloved of God, there is nowhere we ever could venture on the face of the earth where we’d be out of the watchful gaze of God. Nonetheless, God has some important house rules for us. In our lesson, Jesus, our elder brother, lays down the rules of God’s Kingdom to help us know how we ought to behave when we find ourselves in unfamiliar and uncomfortable scenarios.
