On Father’s Day, as we celebrate and dedicate baby Levi, we explore a powerful truth about the character of God: He is both Judge and Shepherd.
At first glance, these images seem like opposites - one speaks of authority, justice, and leadership, while the other speaks of care, guidance, and protection. Yet in God they are not opposites, nor a tug-of-war, but instead exist in perfect harmony.
We reflect on the truth that sheep are safe because they have a shepherd who is BOTH gentle and strong.
Whether we are parents, leaders, or followers of Jesus, we are called to embody that same kind of balance - to be gentle and strong, and to create spaces marked by both healthy boundaries and loving care.
