This is the end of one of the most tragic stories in the Bible. Absalom’s revolt against David, his
father, ends in his violent death hanging from an oak tree. As we recall Absalom’s sister had been
raped by another of David’s sons while David stood by and ignored it. There was Hades to pay from then
on.
Sons always look to fathers to be the Knight in Shining Armor, the G. I.
Joe, and the Spiderman of their lives.
Invariably the image cannot be maintained by any human father so what
are we fathers to do? There is
only one solution. Fathers must
build their legacies on the foundation of God the Father. When the armor gets tarnished, the
soldier gets wounded or the mask gets ripped off, the son is still left with
Abba Father, God Almighty. All our
efforts as fathers should be to never leave our sons Fatherless.
