Father of a Multitude

Abraham is one of the most famous men in history. His name means “father of a multitude” and three major religions, Christianity, Judaism and Islam, claim him as their spiritual father.

Now I would not lift Abraham up as the perfect parent, for he made his share of mistakes. But in the Bible, there are two things for which Abraham is most famous. First, he was a man of faith. He believed God and God called him righteous. Second, Abraham fathered millions of descendants who carried forward his faith in God.

The lesson in Abraham’s life for modern fathers is simple. The greatest heritage we can leave our children, grandchildren and future generations isn’t money, property, business or title; the greatest heritage we can leave to them is our faith in God.
