God as Father John 14:1–14 Excerpt From early in Israel’s history God was regarded as a father (cf. personal names such as Eliab, Joab “God is [my] father” ; Abijah, Abiel “my father is God” ). Yahweh was recognized as the father of Israel (e.g.,  Isa. 63:16 ;  Jer. 3:4 ;  Mal. 1:6 ), both as suzerain in the covenant relationship (e.g.,  Deut.  7:14 ) and as creator of the world (e.g.,  32:6 ;  Mal.  2:10 ). Just as the human father, God possesses ultimate authority ( Mal.  1:6 ;  Matt. 7:21–23 ). Similarly, he demonstrates his love and care for his children ( Exod.  4:22–23 ;  Deut. 1:31 ;  Jer. 31:9 ,  20 ;  Matt. 6:26–34 ;  18:14 ). The Gospels frequently distinguish between the relationship of God to his son Jesus ( “my father” ) and to the disciples ( “your father” ; cf.  John 20:17 ). Because of Jesus’ particular nature as God’s “only begotten son” ( 1:14 ,  18 ) and thus the author...
