Exodus 21:1-36; Psalms 62:1-63:11; Acts 11:19-30
Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:2
From early infancy to adulthood one of the most important people in our lives is our father. Only those born into his immediate family have the right to use the word, “father”. When the disciples asked the Lord to teach them to pray, He told them to begin by saying “our Father!” The Lord Jesus Christ used the term “our” referring to His own Father and saying that God the Father is also our Father. Twenty times Paul uses the term, often beginning his letters wishing his readers grace and peace from God, our Father. Our Father loves to hear from us, His children. —Ray Jones
Great Father of glory, pure Father of light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight. —W. C. Smith
