4d agoTap to summarizeWhatever your own relationship with your dad looks like, Pastor Ben paints a picture today of the dynamic interaction between God The Father and God The Son. It's a loving, trusting relationship between the two of them and there's a tenderness there. Just like a father-son relationship can be here on earth when it's fostered, cared for, and tended. While the Father and Son dynamic between God and Jesus is special. The fact that you and I get to be included in that love, and in that family, is a treasure to consider. Here's Pastor Ben in the Book of John chapter 17, as he continues his message “Jesus Prays For Himself, His Team And Us.”
