To many, this would be unheard of – to have this man, this Jesus, come under their own roof. One thing our world needs today is more homes where Christ is welcome, homes where Christ is more than a name taken in vain – a place where His presence is known, & His Word is obeyed. We’re told in Psalm 127:1 “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh in vain.” 3. She saw he was not ashamed to express his love toward her. What took him from his daughter’s side, to seek out a Jewish teacher? What compelled him to fall at Jesus’ feet & cry out, “I beg you, please come!”? What would cause a man to forget about what others might think or say?” Love! His love said to his daughter, “I do whatever I have to do to see that you are made whole.” We don’t know how long she lived, but I assure you, there was not a day went by that this girl didn’t know, “I’m alive today because of my daddy’s love for me.” Fathers, don’t be ashamed to let your children see you seek the Lord, have him in your home, or show your family your love. I hope you had a happy Father’s Day this past Sunday, and you're invited to visit us any time at 104 Nile Street. Have a great day! R.W.
