Short articles of the, "Yes Jesus" Book on prayer. # 50

 

Jesus said, “This, then, is how you should pray:

“Our Father who art in Heaven”

 

Our Bible begins with the words, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

 

God and Heaven are first. Man and Earth are last. 

 

In the same way, the gospel of John says: “In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. He was with God in the beginning.”

 

Men’s best words presented to God in prayer must and should rightfully and imperatively be the words of Jesus that are guaranteed to be heard by God when in obedience we repeat after him: “Our Father who art in Heaven.”

 

Remember always God as our Father in Heaven. We are not overstating this fact at all. If man is capable of something, it is that of forgetting God as Father and Creator. 

 

Our ever-romantic Jesus has left to His bride the church a little flower named “Forget-Me-Not” in the Lord’s Supper, saying, “Do this in remembrance of Me.” It is by His body broken for us and His blood poured out for us that we can remember to go to Heaven where our God and Father dwells.

 

The origin of all forms of idolatry is when we forget God as “Our Father in Heaven.”
