As we approach Father’s Day weekend, some of the verses that mention fathers and disability close together seem to become more obvious. Consider this series of verses from Deuteronomy 27:
“‘Cursed be anyone who dishonors his father or his mother.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
“‘Cursed be anyone who moves his neighbor’s landmark.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
“‘Cursed be anyone who misleads a blind man on the road.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
“‘Cursed be anyone who perverts the justice due to the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
Deuteronomy 27:16-19
A curse is a serious thing. It leads to eternal destruction! It is kind that God warns those who might be tempted to abuse someone with a disability – a curse will fall upon you from God himself! And it is a grace for those who live with disability – God sees everything and justice will come.
