THREE RESPONSIBILITIES OF A DAD
NELSON PRICE
I THESSALONIANS 2: 10 - 12

JESUS CHRIST used the image of a father to teach us
about God. In Matthew 5-7, He refers to Jehovah God as "God" 5
times and as "Father" 17.
Father's Day is a challenge to modern pulpits. First, it is a
challenge because not everyone present is a father. Therefore you

standard. Now let's use that standard as our model for fathers.
I Thessalonians 2:10 notes what kind of character must be
the basis for fulfilling the three functions of a father noted.
A dad must strive to be: DEVOTED, JUST, AND

He is to be blameless within himself.
The responsibilities of a dad are varied. "What would you do
if a burglar broke into your house?" a father of four children was
asked.
Father answered, "Out of habit, I'd get out of bed, take him
by the hand and lead him to the bathroom."
