MY FATHER THE HUSBANDMAN
John 15:1-8
Jesus says, I am the true vine and my Father is the Husbandman. As a Farmer this is one of my favorite passages for we see our Father called the husbandman by His Son. A husbandman is one who governs what happens, thats the reason I liken God to the Gentleman Farmer, one who owns all of what we see, even what we are not able to see around us and is careful of how he deals with what He has created. The Husbandman provides every thing we need to become what he intended us to be. He has blessed us by making sure we have water to drink also to allow the plants to grow. He gives us the sun for nourishment by day and the moon for shelter by night. He also makes sure he has the equipment needed to complete the task of making sure we grow into the person that will produce after our kind. Christian Families find many times their kids grow up understanding the Lord and when they get older they serve and obey Jesus. God the Husbandmen created man form the dirt, then soon afterward the women was created from the rib taken from the man. She is to be protected and provided for by the husband as the Husbandman cares for us all. |
