A special name for a special Child (3)

“And His name shall be called… Everlasting Father” (Isaiah 9:6)

When God created us, He also designed the concept of a family. The first man and woman were blessed by God and told to be fruitful and multiply. Elsewhere in the Bible, it becomes abundantly clear that having children also implies taking care of them and teaching them all they need to know about the world and about God. This is how the Lord God wants families to function.

Sadly, many children do not grow up like that. Many families are broken because one or both parents died, left or were never present in their child’s life at all. Other children grow up in situations of abuse or neglect. The lack of good parents has severe and lasting impact on the children involved.

Whatever your personal experience of growing up, God wants to be your loving Father. Christians often refer to “God the Father” to distinguish the first Person of the trinity from the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Bible itself frequently does this. However, Isaiah makes it clear that Jesus Christ, the special Child, also is an “Everlasting Father” to His people. He loves and protects and cares for them. He teaches them all they need to know to find real and lasting joy.

Do you see God as your Father? What does that mean to you?
