If we study the Bible rightly, every
subject in it has as its centre Christ and his
glory. The centre of the family, and
God’s Word about it, is Jesus Christ. Marriage
is a picture of Christ and his church. Fatherhood
brings children to Christ. Think of God
our Father who is the father of all good things; he brought us Christ. Motherhood is a picture of the love of
Christ for us. As a hen gathers her
chicks, so Christ gathers us to himself.
Children are part of the kingdom of God. No one is to forbid them from coming to the
Lord Jesus; so we are to have a Christ centred focus regarding children. In some way they are holy when a parent has
faith in Jesus. When we talk about family from God’s Word, Jesus is central.
