I know the above list of bene- fits is short and light-hearted but the reality is that the bene- fits of having a good father and a good male role model in the home are immeasurable. But , there are some things you and I just cannot do, and there is no shame to that. But we need to realize it. Dads, one of the best illustra- tions about our limitations came from a report in a British news- paper about a rather unusual disturbance of the peace. A por- tion of the report went some- thing like this: “It began with a skeptical wee boy watching a circus strong- man go through his routine in a sideshow. Mr. Muscles lifted barbells, bent six-inch nails, smashed planks with a karate chop, and pulled a heavy lorry with his teeth. “The boy was unimpressed and carried on a derisory run- ning commentary. After each act he piped up, That’s nothing! My dad could easily do better than can usually be relied on to give a . a) “Understandably the strong- man’s patience finally ran out. ‘He picked up an iron bar. “Listen sonny,’ he snarled. ‘Your dad’s the greatest, he’s stronger than me? Right?’ "He twisted the bar in a loop around the boys neck. “Then off you go to your pre- cious dad and get him to take that lot off. . . .’ Poor dad, he knew his limitations. No wonder there was a breach of the peace.” There are some things that we as fathers just can’t do. That story reminds me only too well of a more sinister strongman referred to in the Bible in the Gospel of Luke Chapter II. Here Satan himself imprisons the heart in the twist- ed iron bars of sin and we are helpless in their grip. And no human love can set the heart free. And no father can release his child from that bondage. Only one stronger than Satan can do that. There is only one and He is the eternal Son of God, Jesus Christ. That’s why we call him Savior. So, Father’s Day has come and gone and although it may not have the same social impact as Mother's Day it still stands a good reminder that dads are a good thing to have around. And that above everything else we provide, we need to teach our children by our actions and our words how important it is to commit their lives to the true strongman, Jesus Christ.
