Who Are You, Kid?

So he went to his father and said, “My father.”
And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?” Genesis 27:18

A man grows up desiring the recognition of his father. It would be the bottom of a valley for sure to have your father say something like, "Who are you, kid?" Of course we know from the rest of this particular story that this kid was trying to be recognized as the other kid, and trickery does not deserve the same sympathy as the child his father does not recognize due to age or infirmity. There is then the Father we all want to have recognize each of us as His own, and that would be the Father of our Savior, Jesus Christ. That Father cannot be tricked and those who sneak into the wedding from over the wall will be recognized for what they are and thrown out. We don't want that sort of recognition! We want to be seen through Christ and known by God as one of His Son's sheep.

Have a happy day in Christ our Lord!
