We are starting to talk about the individual members of the Trinity today. We are going to start with God the Father. Easily the most recognizable member of the Trinity. It’s not a matter of choosing in the Bible which verses support the idea of God as Father, authority figure, and provider and more about which verses don’t support that conclusion. But for the purpose of this video we’ll focus on three aspects of God the Father.
First one is that God is our father. Romans 8 talks heavily about the idea that we are children of God, Galatians 3:26, Jesus tells Mary Magdalene in John 20:17 that I haven’t ascended to the Father yet, but go tell my brothers that I will ascend to my Father, and your father. To my God and your God. God is our father. Even if we don’t know who our human father is or if he wasn’t a good guy, Psalm 68:5 says that God is Father to the fatherless.
Another aspect of God the Father is that He has ultimate authority and power. We say that God is sovereign. He is the king, the chief, the big boss. It’s described in Daniel 4:35 that God can do what He wants with heaven and the earth. He is the supreme being. We see it again in God’s response to Job. God basically says “Woah, who are you to tell me how to do my job? Let me tell you how wise and powerful I am and if you can top me then I’ll bow down to your power.” And Job’s response, who was described as being very wealthy, respected, and successful by human standards was to mourn and repent in dust and ashes.
Lastly, when we talk about God the Father. We have to talk about how He is the creator and provider of all things. All through Genesis 1 we see God creating the world and universe with His words alone. God spoke and bam it happened. Beyond that one time creation, we see God providing more consistently for His children’s needs. Crazy examples of ravens bringing food to Elijah or Jesus after His temptation, but also daily needs for all of God’s children. Jesus tells His disciples “Don’t worry. Life is more than the food in your stomach or clothes on your back. Your heavenly Father knows you need these things. Focus on God’s kingdom and let God be your provider.”
God the Father. The first person of the fully unified God.
Bonjou tout moun! Jodi a nap kontinye palew de manb trinite a endividyelman. Nap komanse avek BonDye papa a, paske se li menm ki pi fasil a rekonet nan manb trinite a. Se pa yon kesyon de chwazi nan bib la ki vese ki sipote BonDye etan ke papa nou, etanke yon otorite oubyen yon founise, plis anko ak vese ki pa sipote konklizyon sa, men objektif video sa, nou pral pale de BonDye papa a nan 3 aspe.
Premye bagay la seke nou se pitit BonDye. Women 8 pale nou anpil sou lide ke BonDye se papa nou e Galat 3:26 tou pale de sa. BonDye di Marie Magdala nan Jean 20:17 ke “Mwen poko monte al wenn papa mwen, al jwenn frem yo, di yo map monte al jwenn papa nou, BonDye mwen, Bondye nou”. Menm si ou pa konnen fizikman kiyes papaw ye oubyen eske papa’w se yon bon moun oubyen yon move moun. Som 68:5 di “BonDye se papa a pou moun ki pagen papa yo”. Yon lot aspe nan BonDye papa a, seke li ultim, li gen otorite ak pouvwa. Nou di ke BonDye se souvren an, li se Wa, li se lide, li se gran patwon an. Nan Danyel 4:35 li di ke “BonDye ka fe nenpot sal vle ansanm ak syel al epi ak te a, li se yon èt siprem, nou ka we sa nan repons BonDye te bay job la; Esansyelman BonDye di “Wawwww! Ki moun ou ye pou’w ap dim kijan poum fe travay mwen?” E kitem di’w jan mwen saj ak pwisan, e siw ka sipase mwen map mete ajenou devan pouvwa’w”
Ak repons Job te bay la, li te vin paret tankou yon moun ki rich, respektye epi li te gen yon gwo standa, li te lage kol nan sann epi li te woule nan pousye.
E finalman le nou pale de BonDye papa a, nou dwe pale de fason li menm li se yon kreyate. Fason ke li se yon founise de tout bagay. Tout atrave Jenèz premye, nou ka we sa, BonDye li menm li te kreye syel la ansanm avek linive a pou kont li. Li te anik pale epi ‘Bimm! Tout bagay te fet. Odela de tout kreyasyon, nou we ke BonDye li plis sistematik, paske li toujou bay pitit li sa yo bezwen an. Ann pran yon egzanp kote ke te gen yon kòbo kite vin pot manje bay Eli ansanm avek tout Jezi.
Jezi di disip li yo, pa enkyete nou, lavi nou plis enpotan pase manje nou ap met nan vant nou, oubyen li pi enpotan pase rad nap met sou do nou. Papa nou ki nan syel la, li konnen ke nou bezwen bagay sa yo, pito nou konsantre nou pito sou wayom syel la, apre sa kite BinDye se yon founise pou nou. BonDye papa a se te premye moun ki te totalman inifye’l.
Mesi paskew tap gade video sa, m espere we’w nan yon lot epizod.
