Show us the Father ...
Monday, June 18, 2018. What is human? We start our life as babies, we start it being infants who need to be nurtured and protected by a father and a mother. These two humans play the central role in human life. Only step by step we grow into mature beings.
The bible takes up this important relationship at the beginning of human life. God is called the father - and he also calls himself the mother - of all humans. He is called your heavenly father! What does it mean?
Human Desire …
Humans are created by God, the eternal father. Our human relationships, father and mother, are built in his image. He created this relationship. He designed us to be infants at the beginning of our life. He built his eternal fatherhood and motherhood into our life. He did it in a very concrete way, in a fantastic way!
Also, God built into our heart the desire for himself, for an eternal father and an eternal mother. He built the desire to have someone who cares, who is interested in our life, who wants to know, who wants to be there, who wants us to prosper, who loves us deeply! This desire is reflected in the words which Philip finds in a discussion with Jesus, see John 14:
Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” (from John 14, 8)
