The Ultimate Provider


When the child of God

Looks into the word of God

And sees the Son of God

They are transformed by the Spirit of God

Into the image of God

For the glory of God

-Warren Wiersbe


Biblical Traits for Fathers to Pursue:

PATTERN

PARTICIPATOR

PROVIDER

PREPARER


For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. - Isaiah 9:6


In a very real sense Jesus is the Everlasting Father of all who are born again. Isaiah 9 tells us when the Messiah comes we will be ‘full of wonder’ at Him; we will view Him as the best Counselor; as the Mighty God in human flesh; as the perfect Father figure; and the Prince of our peace.


Matthew 15:29-39


Jesus the Great Participator - V. 29-31


You can’t spell the word gospel without the words “GO” and “SPELL.” God uses us as we ‘go’ and ‘spell’ out the ‘good news’ to others in word & deed.


But we can be like Jesus and walk beside our children, and sit down with them. We can meet all the needs we can, and trust all-powerful Jesus to do for them what we cannot.


Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. - 2 Timothy 1:13


Jesus is the Great Preparer - V. 32-36


As dads we often rightfully have compassion on our own kids, but not others. Jesus had compassion on the crowds before Him, despite all their problems. He was calling His disciples to follow His pattern.


As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him. - Psalm 103:13


Somebody here who was listening when I preached through Matthew 14 tell me what the problem was with their statement in Matthew 15:33.

Daddies need to remember that they need Daddies too – and in Jesus we have the one Isaiah called “our everlasting Father,” and through Jesus we now have an eternal relationship with God our Father. And when we are in our latest moment of not knowing what to do we have a God who has provided what we need over and over again. So let’s trust Him!


Jesus is the Ultimate Provider - V. 37-39


The 4,000 daddies who couldn’t provide for their families that day were able to see Jesus provide for themselves and their wives and children. And godly men and women and children have seen Jesus provide for them ever since.
