Redeeming Filial Piety

When we ponder the roles and responsibilities we undertake in our families as we all age, we first consider how we navigate our primary devotion to the Father and the biblical family we are adopted into. Within the tension of filial piety and our gospel representation, our ethnic and cultural frameworks are not simply done away with, but redefined by the intervention of Jesus and reshaped by the perspective of the gospel. Where we find ourselves in the family of God and as a representative of the imago dei within our family unit, the good news of the cross serves as the peace that reaches between all of our relationships.
