I have heard about this unusual father since the time I was young.
I heard that he had a large family of children.
Stories abounded in my family of his parenting skills or lack of such.
The majority of his children did not listen to him.
They would run away from him on a frequent basis.
They chose to love fathers of other children, spurning his love.
Every single child in his family was rotten to the core.
He had just one child who was good.
You would think that he would protect that one good child from the nasty, rotten other children wouldn’t you?
He didn’t.
Instead he did something crazy.
He sacrificed His one good son for all of the other rebellious children.
People called Him crazy but he was not crazy.
He was God.
