WHAT IS THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT FATHER’S DAY?

The best news about Father’s Day is that it can remind us not only of the best of our own father’s (Exodus 20:12), but it can also point us toward Jesus’ Father, who happens to be our Father as well. Jesus learned this lesson as a child (Lk 2:41-50), intimacy and respect (Mark 14:35–36). A special day each week has been set aside for our Father (Gen 2:2-3; Ex 20:8-11).
Jesus learned through prayer to enter into intimacy with the Father (Matt 11:25-27). He invites us to do the same by first coming to Jesus (Matt 28:28-30)…and then leaning to pray as Jesus does (Matt 6:5-12).
We honor the Father by obeying the Son…the gift we give him is our soul.
