Just as a mother helps her young child to feel secure, the cross provides believers with security and comfort. Like a father, the cross challenges us, for Jesus told us to take up our crosses and follow Him. In other words, just as a mother provides security and a father offers guidance, the cross both comforts and compels us—calling us to follow Christ with faith and purpose. Please open your Bible to First Thessalonians chapter two, and listen as Dylan Ocorr completes his study on spiritual parenting.
