OUR FATHER
Good Morning!!!
OUR FATHER
Around the Year with Emmet Fox
February 3
Now the Prayer says,
not "My Father," but "Our Father,"
and this indicates
beyond the possibility of mistake,
the truth of the brotherhood of man.
It forces upon our attention at the very beginning
the fact that all men are the children
of one Father;
and that:
“There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female:
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus”
Galatians 3:28
Here Jesus cuts away the illusion
that the members of any nation,
or race, or territory,
or group, or class, or color, are,
in the sight of God,
superior to any other group.
The final point is the implied command
that we are to pray not only for ourselves
but for all mankind.
None of us lives by ourselves, however we may try.
In a much more literal sense than people
are aware we are limbs of one Body.
"Our Father"--a spiritual explosive
that will ultimately destroy
every kind of human bondage.
