Fatherhood Of God | Derek Prince on Parenting
Показать описание
'The most godlike thing a man can do is being a father.' Derek Prince states: Human fathers represent the fatherhood of God.
Paul says: 'For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.' Ephesians 3:14–15
The word family that's translated there is 'patria', This word is derived from the word 'pater' (which means father). Every family is a fatherhood and every fatherhood is derived of God. The family is the prime expression of fatherhood.
Jesus said 'I Am the Way, the Truth and the Life' (John 14:6). We often forget to read this in context. We need to know what this Way (Jesus) is leading us to. Jesus is not the destination. The destination is 'The Father'. So the purpose of redemption is to bring us to the Father.
Then, the climax of Jesus' revelation to the world is to know the Father (John 17:1, 6, 26).
God's destination is revealed in Revelation 22:3–4. We will continue to serve God forever and see His face. At last we will understood what it meant to have God as a father.
