Stay up to date!
From Sunday:
This week our Bible Study was on Matthew and I re-read the "Sermon on the Mount" and was struck by how many times Jesus emphasizes God as our Father:
glorify your FATHER who is in heaven." Matthew 5:16
And your FATHER who sees in secret will reward you" Matthew 6:3-4
And of course, the Lord's prayer "Our FATHER who art in heaven" Matthew 6:9
That got me to thinking... why? Why would Jesus emphasize that God is our Father? Why does the whole Bible have so many references to parents when describing God?

En Agape',  
Rev. Michael Weeks
