"OUR FATHER 2"

“Jesus is Lord”
Have you ever read or pray psalm 23, The Lord is my Shepherd?
It goes like this: The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want…
Wait, How come we can say The Lord is MY Shepherd in the psalms
but we cannot say MY FATHER in the Lord’s prayer?
Could it be because the Apostles prayed in group?
I don’t think so, because even when they were alone, they had to say:
OUR FATHER.
Why is that?
Simply because the Shepherd in Psalm twenty three, believe it or not,
Is Jesus and we have to recognize Him as our Shepherd, so we could
say along with Him: OUR FATHER!
I don’t understand it! Could you explain it to me better?
Yes! Look:
“God sent fort his Son, made of a woman, made under the Law,
to redeem them that were under the Law ,that we may receive
the adoption of sons. And because you are sons, God hath sent forth
the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.”
OUR FATHER! Galatians 4- 4
Jesus said: “Nobody can go to the Father if is not through me”
If we say MI FATHER as Jesus say, we not necessarily are indicating
that we have accepted Him as our Lord! But if we recognize Him
as Lord of us, He will live in us and together we can say:
OUR FATHER! Do you understand?
Do you mean Jesus and I will say together Our Father?
Wow! Now, you understood!
Are you also saying that King David was praying to Jesus Christ
when he wrote Psalm twenty three?
Well, although, the book of psalms were written long time before
Jesus were born, if we consider that the Almighty God of heavens
came to earth to give his life for his sheep…
Of course! HE IS THE GOOD SHEPHERD! JESUS IS LORD!
And when we accept Him as our Lord, we never will alone any more,
Because He always will be with us, and together, on a daily basis
happy or in time of trouble, we could fall on our knees and say:
“OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN
BLESSED BE THY NAME”… Mathew 6-9.
Christ in us, we in Christ, a perfect communion!

PRAISE THE LORD!
