From Father to Son
John 5:19
“So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.”
Recently, we have learned the importance of the relationship between fathers and sons. Yahweh designed this relationship from the beginning and if you think about it, He has spent generations (starting with His son) getting us back to its original intent. Jesus made it simple for us. He told us that He only does what He sees His Father doing. This is the relationship He had with Yahweh God when He was on earth.
We in turn must imitate Christ but also imitate those spiritual fathers who Yahweh has placed in our lives. Also, maybe Yahweh has positioned us as a spiritual father to someone, so then the responsibility shifts to being the example for someone else. This relationship continues on and on from generation to generation.
As you start your day, consider this.. Whose example are you following? Who are you being an example to? Consider the relationship between fathers and sons (and daughters). We have a responsibility to the generations after us to do our part and make sure we continue the legacy of fathers and sons that Yahweh intended from the beginning.
