How is it that some people are children of God, sons of God? In a situation where you have to command lots of people, perhaps you are running an after-school computer club for the local children, there are twenty kids in it. One of them is your own son. The kids are quite well behaved but your son gets bullied because his father is running the club. He plays up and to try to avoid being bullied he starts to openly disobey you and disrespect you. Back at home you tell him off and talk to him. He gets punished but you sympathise because you know he is bullied because of you so you just ask him to calm down and you in turn will do your best to do what is needed to make things bearable for him and will forgive him if he feels he has to play up a bit to keep in with his friends. He takes this well and does well and obeys you in front of the others and trusts you to sympathise if he gets cheeky. You are proud of how he copes and does not rebel even when bullied. One other child in class is just as well behaved. He so often obeys you and does what you want intelligently that you warm to him. You feel you can talk to him and correct him like your son. You find put he us an orphan and decide to adopt him. He is just like your real son in how he responds to you. But your real son is still most special.
