Hebrews 12:9 (King James Version)
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
(My View)
The writer continues his message on the chastening of the Father. He is basically saying “please understand!! Your Father is going to correct you for your better. He wants to bring you into this deep understanding, so you can better obtain a view of His magnificence!! So don’t complain anymore but be thankful!!”
(The Breakdown)
Besides chastening making us His Son, we to at one time had fathers in the natural that would correct and scold us (trying to mold us into becoming first class children) and we gave them honor and respect, (and are now glad we did) and we turned ourselves to them for guidance and understanding. For we new they stood for the truth, and looked out for our best interests. Shouldn’t we even more so be in subjection (full surrender to) our Heavenly Father, who holds our total spirit and life in His hands, so we can live in total purity and peace? Shouldn’t we turn ourselves to Him with understanding that although the pain is great, He is the only one that will fully lead us the correct way?
(Last Thought)
“Please don’t think this hurts you more than it hurts me!! I am doing this to better you!! I promise.
Love, Your Heavenly Father”
