Scripture: John 5: 19 – 20
19 So Jesus explained, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing. In fact, the Father will show him how to do even greater works than healing this man. Then you will truly be astonished.
Scripture Commentary:
I think back on my youth and my memories of my father and grandfather. I realize that they showed and taught me alot. Just by watching them do something, I learned how to do it. I did what my father did.
God shows us that the way to Him is through Jesus.
Jesus tells us that he is who he is because his father loved him enough to show him the way to go and how to get there. We are not God but we are His children and He shows and tells us how to get to Him. In turn, we are to tell, teach and show our children how to follow Christ by living as Christ-like as possible. Our children learn by what they see and hear.
Know God’s ways.
God gives us the choice to be good or evil. There is no middle ground. We aren’t perfect but we know right from wrong. Raise your children to know God’s ways. Don’t be like the Pharisees and reject Jesus, God’s Only Begotten Son.
