Father's Day
Contributed by Dean Morgan on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: Notice that one of the responsibilities of John the Baptist was to “turn the hearts of the fathers to the children.” If ever there was a time that this needed to happen it is now.
1 Kings 15:1-3 - “(1) In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah the son of Amaziah, king of Judah, became king. (2) he was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. his mother’s name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. (3) and he did what was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.”
It is important that we be a good example because of what happen to Judah and what is said concerning their sin: “The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron; with the point of a diamond it is engraved on the tablet of their heart, and on the horns of your altars” (Jeremiah 17:1).
Now let me close with a tribute to the Fathers of those who responded to the question: What does your Father or Dad mean to you?
Kelly Lee: “He takes good care of me. If I want something he will get it for me. And he comforts me.”
Wendy Morgan:”My dad is my friend. he is someone who I joke with and love.”
Michelle Lee:”He is a special person.”
Unknown: “My dad is deceased. But I remember how much he loved not only me but all of his other children. He did not always say it in words, but by his actions. He took care of, and provided for us in good times and in bad times.
Rita Lee: “My dad means the world to me. He loves me and supports me. My dad has set the example and the way before me. he is a Christian and I will always look up to my dad.”
Vicki Lee: “My father means the world to me. I love him very much.
Cathy Morgan: “My dad means everything to me. I’m his little girl who enjoys spending time with him, especially when fishing. I appreciate that I have a dad, because my dad basically grew up without one. I wouldn’t trade my dad for anything in this world. my dad is a great role model and a very good person to look up to.
Let me close with this reading:
Father’s day Is a Special Day
Father’s Day is a special day When we remember Dad, But God was the only Father That Jesus ever had.
And when he was a little boy He loved His Father so, That he desired to please him Wherever he would go.
So, this Father’s Day, like Jesus-Honor Dad in all you do,And reflect the love of Jesus for the Heavenly Father too.
