Abstract
"Chinese Confucians have been trying to honor their parents according to Confucianism since ancient times. The Jewish people try to honor their parents according to the fifth commandment recorded in the Bible (Exo.20:12). Both Chinese Confucians and the Jewish people have their doctrine and practice of filial piety. However, when the humanistic Confucian filial piety encounters the divine fifth commandment, Confucians can see the true meaning of filial piety from a godly perspective. Although both Confucians and the Jewish people try to honor their parents, they often fail to measure up to their standards due to human limitation. When Jesus came as the fulfiller of the Law (Mt.5:17), Chinese Confucians find the fulfillment of their aspiration of filial piety."
