What would Jesus say to... Family Leaders

Families are great, aren’t they?

 

There is nothing more enjoyable or more precious to me than getting together with my family – eating, laughing, and watching the grandkids – it truly is, as one Grandma told me, “pure joy!”

 

Families are an essential part of our lives – and the more we understand about human development, the more we realize that when we mess with family structures, we often do great damage to people!

 

Let’s imagine Jesus talking to a family leader on a bench – a mother or father, or maybe a grandparent who is raising their grandchildren.  What might He say?

 

God’s relationship with His people shows us the way a family is to work.

A healthy family is based upon shared commitments.

• Unconditional love and acceptance
• Support and encouragement
• Instruction and chastening
• A Healthy Faith

 

See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. 

I John 3:1-2
