Description
WAS YOUR FATHER
GENEROUS, GENTLE & GRACIOUS?
Your Heavenly Father is. The problem is that we see the Father
through our earthly father. We are all given lenses at some point
in our childhood, and we still wear them even as we begin to
parent our own children. The lenses gray our understanding of
the Father. Who is He? What does He think of me? Does He
accept me? Is He proud of me? What does He want from me?
Herein lies the beauty of the gospel: In Christ, our lenses are
removed so we can clearly see the Father, and, in Christ, the
Father puts on lenses and sees us through His perfect Son!
This means that in the Gospel we can see what the Father is like.
God the Father not only exemplifies fatherhood, but He empowers us in the Gospel to father like Him. If we can see the Father,
we can image the father to our children.
So what is the Father like?
Let¿s remove the lenses and see.
