Honoring a Godly Father
Series Father's Day Sermons
The question that I will attempt to answer is this: How can you honor your godly father in a way which will please God? How can we honor not only our earthly fathers but our spiritual fathers as well? I believe that Elisha was a model to us, in this regard, in a number of meaningful ways that we can learn from. Elisha looked, it says in verse 12, and he saw Elijah’s translation to heaven and he exclaimed, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!” He knew that Elijah was being taken away from the sons of the prophets and the people of Israel. He knew that his master, this “father” to him and to many others, had been a great strength to them and their whole nation; even as chariots and horsemen are the defense of a country and its people. It was the spiritual example of his life and his words which Elisha learned from, and it will be the same with you in relation to your father if he knows the Lord.
