Lord, Show Us The Father -9 "Fellowship With Father"

Here's one way Jesus shows us the Father in Scripture. He lives out that spiritual Father / Son relationship in front of us.

At twelve years of age, Jesus stayed in the temple area at the Passover Feast all by himself for three days while his parents had headed home thinking he was in the family throng. When they found him, he said, "Why were you searching for me?"... "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" (Luke 2:49 NIV)

At that early age, Jesus knows the Almighty God is his Father, making him the Son of God. By the time Jesus receives baptism, we again see their relationship: "And a voice came from heaven: 'You are my Son whom I love; with you I am well pleased." (Luke 3:21-22 NIV)

Why does this Father / Son relationship matter to us? Because it's the template, the pattern for our relationship with the Father.
