If I were to ask you who is the best example of a father in the Bible, who would you pick? Would you choose Abraham, even though he did almost kill one of his sons and had to banish the other? Would you choose Jacob, even though he notoriously picked favorites to such a degree that he created a feeling of animosity among his children? When it comes to the best example of a father in the Bible, maybe we should take a closer look at the one God chose to be the earthly father for His Son. Maybe we should consider the most forgotten father of all time.
