Short articles of the, "Yes Jesus" Book on prayer. # 59

 

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

“Our Father who art in Heaven”

 

As the heavens are higher than the Earth, so is God greater than men on earth.

But God has adopted us in Jesus so that we can become children of God and 

That is what we are in Jesus. Once only a creature, now children of God forever, predestined and chosen before the foundation of the world with a sure election in the Son.

 

Condemned to be saved.

Sentenced to eternal life,

To share the supernatural life of God

As children of “Our Father in Heaven.”

If God’s children, then eternal.

If eternal, then without beginning.

If without beginning, then without end.

If without beginning or end, then in and of and for God.

 

We are God’s breath who inhabited a body of clay for a time.

The breath of God at death goes back to God from where it came.

And the body goes back to the dust from where it was taken.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, the Lord gives and the Lord takes away.

 

May the Lord, Our Father in Heaven, be praised and worshiped. # 59.

 

This is the teaching elder on duty in matters of Prayer.
