Our True and Perfect Father
In Luke 15, Jesus tells the story of a man with two sons who were each given a share of property. The youngest son immediately demanded his property, took his share, and fell into a reckless lifestyle. Once he wasted everything, he found himself in desperate need. When he realized his mistakes, he returned to his father, hoping to be treated only as a servant. But as he approached, his father felt compassion and embraced him. Despite everything his son had done,the father received him with joy and treated him like royalty. This serves as a simple reminder of our perfectly gracious heavenly Father, who is kind and compassionate, forgiving us where we fall short, just as the prodigal son experienced.
Today, we honor our earthly fathers – those who lead, care for, and uphold our families – the ones who sacrifice their time for the good of their family and children. Fathers, we are so grateful for the blessing you are in our lives, and we are thankful for the ways you comfort us, support us, and are there for us in times of need. However, like all earthly things, sometimes fathers may fail us, and some may have experienced the unfaithfulness of an earthly father.
As we honor our earthly fathers, let us stand in awe and wonder at our true and perfect Father. Our Heavenly Father is without flaw; He loves His children perfectly and personally. He is always faithful and keeps His promises to His people. We serve the God of all comfort and the Father of compassion. And most importantly, He is the God of all grace. His son, Jesus, paid the ultimate sacrifice by laying down His life for the ungodly, which includes each of us, that we might put our faith in Him and become His sons and daughters. As Christians, we are now adopted to be sons and daughters of the Most High King, an inheritance that can never be taken away. What a blessing it is that we get to partake in the free gift of eternal life in Him! Let’s be filled with gratitude for the love of our fathers, who show us a reflection of the goodness of our Heavenly Father.
