(Lesson 2186)(12-03-17) Hebrews 12:9-11
“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? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.”
This lesson relates that if we love and respect our earthly fathers for the punishment they lay upon us simply because of our disobedience to their rules, how much moreso should we love and respect the punishment of our heavenly Father whereby our eternal souls are affected.~
