OUR HEAVENLY FATHER

   Just as God is the heavenly Father of His children, Adam and Eve, so are we.
   For this reason, Jesus said,
 

      "And call no man your father upon the earth: 

for one is your Father, which is in heaven."  

(Matthew 23: 9)

   In teaching people how to pray, Jesus begins by saying,

   "Our Father

which art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come. 

Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.  Amen."

(Matthew 6: 9-13)

   Therefore, since we are children of our heavenly Father in heaven, and since Jesus is the Son of our heavenly Father in heaven, does this mean that Jesus is our brother, and that we are brothers and sisters of Christ our Lord?

   Maybe it is time for the family of God on earth to come together.
