The Christian Parent
![christian parent.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbjahkQZfT8rS97rnJrJwgFNpM3kTinpTsWy32548wiyg/christian%20parent.jpeg)

Deuteronomy 32:11-12 (KJV)
*As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.*

The relationship God has with the children of Israel is unique and enduring.[1] I see in this
passage the heart of a caring parent:
**He watches his children, lovingly providing a place for them in their youth. 
He protects his children, providing a shield from the evils surrounding them. 
He carries his children, transporting them here and there to those places necessary for their health and well-being. 
He directs his children with education, advice, and discipline.**
 
In the case of the Christian parent,
**He raises his children in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord.**
 
There comes a day when the children must strike out of the nest, but the parent never stops loving, caring and praying for God’s best for them. 

How heartbreaking when they turn from those good designs the parents attempted to instill. 

[1] His relationship with New Testament believers is equally unique and equally enduring.

I'm glad God chose me to be a child of Israel and grafted me in!

Ephesians 2:11-13
11 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— 12 that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Romans 11:16-21
16 For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, 18 do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you.

19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off that I might be grafted in.” 20 Well said. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either.

I believe it to be the other way around. God has, for this time, cut off Israel. Now a Jew may be grafted in to this new work of God, a local New Testament body of Christ called a Baptist church. 

Ephesians 2:14-15 (KJV)
14  For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15  Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
