A Father's day thought

This sermon thought came to my mind and heart while on my way to work in my Ford F150 pickup truck. (where God seems to speak to me a lot)


After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Our Father speaks of three thoughts or lessons:

1. It speaks of relationship to our Father.

Our Heavenly father and I like that statement. Jesus specifically aimed to whom it is.  Interesting, how all translation agree how to translate these words. Our Father which is heaven.    Well, father teaches us the father son and father child relationship. A father wants to give his children the very best. But disciple comes when he says yes, no and wait.
Matt 6:4 and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

2. Our Father speaks of resemblance as in  Jesus
Jesus is God in the flesh. And Jesus was always about the father's business.

Luke 19:10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost

 To be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren, Rom 8:29  We should resemble Jesus in our walk, ways and words. 

3. Our Father speaks of respect as led by the spirit of God.
Romans 8:14

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

We should  respect the Lord's set position, saving power and serving purpose.

These thoughts can be use in a sermon and / or lesson. 

God Bless your Christian friend and worker, use this for His honor and His glory, amen.
