We celebrate Father’s Day on 2 September.
About fathers in the faith, about spiritual fathers, we read in the Bible in First Corinthians 4:15:
“FOR EVEN IF YOU HAD TEN THOUSAND OTHERS TO TEACH YOU ABOUT CHRIST, YOU HAVE ONLY ONE SPIRITUAL FATHER,” writes the Apostle Paul. (New Living Translation)
Who are the spiritual fathers and where are they?
They are the men of God who have something what we also long to have. They are men of spiritual maturity. They are men who display the life of Christ and inspire us to do the same. They are the men who remodel the Lord Jesus Christ.
In First Corinthians 11:1 the Apostle Paul writes: “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.”
Today the world is desperate for spiritual fathers. Do you have a spiritual father in your life?
