Everlasting Father
Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Maybe you see the ETERNAL FATHER as…
1. UNREASONABLE
2. UNRELIABLE
3. UNTOUCHABLE
Matthew 5:48 “Your heavenly father is PERFECT”
Three characteristics of our ETERNAL FATHER…
1. He is a FATHER who CARES
Psalm 103:13 “The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him”
Mark 4:38 “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?’’
I Peter 5:7 “Cast all your cares on him for HE CARES for YOU.”
Matthew 6:31-32 "So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.”
Matthew 7:9-11 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!”
2. He is a FATHER who is CONSISTENT
James 1:17 "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”
Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever”
2 Timothy 2:13 “If we are faithless he remains faithful”
Malachi 3:6 “I the Lord do not change.”
3. He is a FATHER who is CLOSE
Psalm 145:18 “The Lord is near to all who call on Him. To all who call on his truth”
Psalm 102:17 “He will listen to the prayers of the destitute, for he is NEVER TOO BUSY to heed their requests”
James 4:8 “Come near to God and he will come near to you”
