OUR FATHER, HELL AND HEAVEN : M. M. NINAN _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ God as Abba Father "Father" is a metaphor used to describe God by nearly all ancient peoples. In fact most people worship their forefathers as part of God. The dead never leave or cease to exist. Instead they are the mediators between the living and God. In sharp contrast God is seldom referred to as Father in the Old Testament. Here are the few: "Is this the way you repay the LORD, O foolish and unwise people? Is he not your Father, your Creator, who made you and formed you?" (Deuteronomy 32:6, NIV) [The Father] guarded him as the apple of his eye.” (Deuteronomy 32:10) "Yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand." (Isaiah 64:8, NIV) I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee: (1Ch 17:13) He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever. (1Ch 22:10) "He will call out to me, 'You are my Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.'" (Psalms 89:26)But you are our Father, though Abraham does not know us or Israel acknowledge us; you, O LORD, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name." (Isaiah 63:16) "They will come with weeping; they will pray as I bring them back. I will lead them beside streams of water on a level path where they will not stumble, because I am Israel's father, and Ephraim is my firstborn son." (Jeremiah 31:9) "Have you not just called to me: 'My Father, my friend from my youth...." (Jeremiah 3:4) "I thought you would call me 'Father' and not turn away from following me." (Jeremiah 3:19b) 13
OUR FATHER, HELL AND HEAVEN : M. M. NINAN _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6) ““A Father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads forth the prisoners with singing.” (Psalm 68:5-6) At least some patriarchs knew God's love and protection as that of a Father. That was it. One of the functions of the Father is to discipline children to make them whole. Heb 12: 5-11 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.” It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you 14
