Father’s Day Celebration, more to be celebrated!
The role of a father is not one to be underrated in any way. Jesus readily proclaimed God as His father and did not allow the threat of cultural bias deny Him that at anytime.
The Jewish culture accepted a father’s relationship to mean equality, that is a father and a son are same of a kind.
Jesus” frequent deferring to God as father shows the importance of a father in our lives and the responsibility conferred on fathers.
A father is needed in a child’s life to guide, teach, support, love, protect, comfort, be available, provide etc. These expectations confers on a father the responsibility to be in control of himself and be able to chat a course the child should desire to emulate.
It is quite “easy” to be a father through reproduction as taught in biology but it is an enviable responsibility to be a father as God expects us to be.
While fatherhood is celebrated once a year, let us all appreciate the role without down playing on the importance. Let the men embrace the responsibility to be a father to the children in our lives (biological or not). Embrace the Father’s love and learn from Him deliberately to guide and teach you how to be the father He will be proud of.
Enjoy the fatherhood celebration everyday. Happy Father’s Day!
Take a moment to appreciate the people who have played the role of a father in your life at any stage. Celebrate them and say a prayer.
