Ephesians: The Return Of Mr. Lyte Family

425 Words2 Pages

Ephesians 6:1 says "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right." Johnny should not have taken his cup to Mr. Lyte for three reasons: his actions were highly risky, totally unnecessary, and led to costly consequences.

Matt expected to be part of the family but he did not truly know. Even if Matt was a blood relative of the Lyte's he did not have any proof of his relationship. Also, Johnny did not have a high chance of persuading Mr. Lyte to let him live with him. Because Johnny was poor and did not have any parents he did not look like he belonged to the Lyte family.

Because of the fact Johnny had places he could work and live but he decided to go directly against what his mother instructed him to do would have caused his mother to be sorely
