Dia dos pais
O Dia dos Pais celebra o amor e o sacrifício paterno. A Bíblia honra os pais como provedores, protetores e guias espirituais que moldam as próximas gerações.
O pai que educa
Instrui a criança no caminho em que deve andar. O pai justo educa com amor, firmeza e o exemplo de uma vida íntegra.
Teach children the right way to live, and when they grow up they'll go on doing so.
People who don't discipline their children hate them. Those who love their children carefully discipline them.
Good people live honestly; how happy are their children if they follow them.
Children who do right make their fathers very happy; a wise son brings joy to his father.
People who honor the Lord are completely safe; he will protect their children.
Honra e alegria
Honra a teu pai e tua mãe. Os filhos são herança do Senhor, e a família que serve a Deus junta é inabalável.
Honor your father and mother, so that you may live a long time in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
Children certainly are a gift from the Lord, for a family is a blessing.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of a young man.
Happy is the father who fills his quiver with them! Such fathers will not be embarrassed when they confront their enemies at the city gate.
But if you don't want to worship the Lord, choose today who you want to worship! Is it going to be the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the Euphrates? Or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you're now living? But as for me and my family, we will worship the Lord!"
Stay alert. Stand firm in your trust in God. Take courage. Be strong.
So he left and went home to his father.
Even though he was still far away in the distance, his father saw him coming, and his heart went out to his son. The father ran to his son, hugging and kissing him. The son said to him, ‘Father, I've sinned against heaven and against you. I'm no longer worthy to be called your son.’
But the father told his servants, ‘Quick—bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the calf we've been fattening and kill it. Let's have a feast to celebrate
