Priest in the Family

            Indeed, everyone knows what is the duty of a husband to his wife and children. The main obligations and especially of a husband, just as Christ to His church is the duty of the priesthood. Hebrews 2: 10-17 explains that Christ is our Great High Priest, who became an intermediary between us and the Father in Heaven. Thus the main task of a husband that is priest in his household respectively. Husband like a priest, shall enter into the Tabernacle (the presence of God) for conditional for his community, namely his wife and son. Priest should be an example to his wife and children, so thanks to the down. Husbands, are we still ignore our primary calling as a priest?

            Priesthood responsibilities that exist on the shoulders of a man it is extremely important, even if I may honestly say, it is more important than work and our efforts though. Children and our wives can learn to recognize and honor the Father in heaven when they saw the father figure at home stairs. Father or husband who is not willing to exchange principle with gains; father who instilled the importance of character than reputation; Fathers who teach and maintain the noble values ​​in the household; Fathers are always pointing to Christ, like John the Baptist pointing; father and husband who always encourage and introduce God to his family. Husbands and fathers, it is our shoulders God has entrusted the responsibility of the priesthood. Through is our Lord's blessing will come down to his wife and children.

               The husband, after learning to take responsibility for the priesthood, there are other responsibilities, namely as "Breadwinner of the household", or manna bread provider for the household. God gave the command to Adam to the sweat of working the land, not to Eve, God commanded man Israel wake up early in the morning to collect manna for himself and his entire family. Paul rebuked the church in Thessalonica hard, if one (actually more geared to men) would not work, neither should he eat. Thus it is clear that those responsible for educating our children, feed the wife and our children, providing for all members of our family, is our husbands. When we reject that responsibility, we were refused him who gave the order.

              In one of the parable of the master who gave talents to his servants, there is an important statement: "Then the master said to him: Well done, thou good and faithful servant, you have been faithful responsibility in a very little, I will give you responsibility in the case of a large ... "(Matthew 25:23). Note once again, the size of which is considered "good and faithful" is when the servant dare "taking responsibility in a very little" new after that, the servant will be the responsibility of the big things. Consider this: If the husband is solely responsible for the lives and needs of the household, then the time will come, you are responsible husband, will get much larger thanks to nurture people.
