FATHER’S Character Expressed
September 18, 2026 – 3:35 amEach of us should be aligning ourselves with FATHER’S Character!
We are to represent HIS Character and Image in our walk just as Jesus did in His earthly ministry.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The Words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father Who dwells in Me does the works.
11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
Jesus precisely represents the FATHER’S Character!
Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Deuteronomy chapter 10:
17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, Who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe.
18 He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and Loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.
19 Therefore Love the stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 10:17–19 reveals both Who God is and how His people should treat others.
Moses describes God as the supreme Lord—great, powerful, and worthy of reverence. Yet God’s greatness is expressed through justice and compassion, not favoritism or corruption.
Verse 17 teaches that God:
- Rules above every earthly authority.
- Shows no partiality based on wealth, position, nationality, or influence.
- Cannot be bribed or manipulated.
Verse 18 shows God’s special concern for vulnerable people: the orphan, widow, and foreigner. He defends those who may have no social power or family protection and provides their basic needs—“food and clothing.”
Verse 19 then gives Israel a command: “Love the stranger.” Israel was to remember its own experience as foreigners in Egypt. Their former suffering was meant to produce compassion, not hardness, toward outsiders.
The central lesson is:
Because God is impartial, just, and compassionate, His people must reflect those same qualities.
For Christians, this means faith cannot be separated from how we treat people who are poor, displaced, lonely, or overlooked. Loving God includes protecting dignity, practicing fairness, and offering practical help—especially to those who cannot repay us. We should remember how God received us when we were spiritually separated from Him, and extend that same mercy to others.
Our ministry fully embraces FATHER’S expression of Love to those in need, especially the kid.
