ST. MATTHEW, 11 VERSE 25
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O
Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid
these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed
them unto babes.
In the above verse, Jesus (Ppuh) thanked the Father, calling Him
the Lord of heaven and earth.
ST. JOHN 17, VERSE 3
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Jesus (Ppuh) was praying to the Father. Jesus (Ppuh) was sent to show
the way to eternal life, which is to believe that the Father is
the only true God, and Jesus Christ (Ppuh) is whom the only true
God has sent.
ST. MATTHEW 5, VERSES 45 & 48
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in
heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on
the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in
heaven is perfect.
Jesus (Ppuh) taught his disciples that the Father is their Father
as He is Jesus' (Ppuh) Father. The Father is in heaven and He is
the only one who is in full control, and the one who let
the sun comes out and the rain fall down. The Father of
the disciples is complete, He is perfect and not in need of
anyone or anything else.
ST. MATTHEW 6, VERSES 4 - 8
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which
seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. 5 And
when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites
are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and
in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of
men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But
thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when
thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in
secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward
thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions,
as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard
for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto
them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need
of, before ye ask him.
Jesus (Ppuh) taught his disciples about their Father, the only true
God, the Lord of heaven and earth, who sent Jesus Christ (Ppuh).
Their Father is the one that sees us in confidence. He is the
one who must be prayed to, and He is the one who rewards
the people for their deeds.
ST. MATTHEW 6, VERSE 14
For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father
will also forgive you:
Jesus (Ppuh) taught his disciples, their Father is the one who
judges and forgives.
ST. MATTHEW 7, VERSE 11
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto
your children, how much more shall your Father which is in
heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Jesus (Ppuh) taught his disciples, their Father, the only true God
who is in heaven is the one from whom they should asked
for the good gifts and He is the one who will award those
gifts.
ST. MATTHEW 23, VERSES 9 & 10
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is
your Father, which is in heaven. 10 Neither be ye called
masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
Again Jesus Christ (Ppuh) taught the disciples, they have only
one Father, who is up in heaven, and they have only one
teacher, who is on earth, who is Christ.
ST. JOHN 8, VERSES 40 – 44
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the
truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him,
We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even
God. 42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father,
ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from
God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why
do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot
hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the
lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the
beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no
truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his
own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Jesus (Ppuh) talking to the Jews; told them he is a man whom God
has sent, he does not say anything of himself but only what
he heard of God. Jesus (Ppuh) called the Jews the children of the
devil, as they do not have the truth in them. They do not
believe that Jesus (Ppuh) is the Christ sent by God, and 'they do
the lusts of their father the devil'. When the Jews answered
Jesus (Ppuh) saying they are the children of God, he rebuked them
saying that if they were the children of God; they would
have loved Jesus (Ppuh), because he was sent by God, and did not
come by himself, but God sent him.
Jesus (Ppuh) called the disciples the children of God, and called
God their Father, the disciples believed in Jesus (Ppuh) and abided
the commandments of God; they did not follow the devil
and they did not lie. Jesus (Ppuh) called the Jews the children of
the devil. He refused to accept them calling themselves the
children of God; Jesus (Ppuh) did not accept for God to be their
Father, the Jews did not believe in Jesus (Ppuh), and did not abide
the commandments of God, but they did as the devil told
them to do and to lie.
The true believers of God and of the ones whom God sends
were called the children of the Father; the only true God,
the Lord of heaven and earth, the complete perfect one
who sent Jesus Christ (Ppuh). And the unbelievers of God and of
the ones whom God did send were called the children of
the devil. But neither the believers nor the disbelievers are
really that. They were called that as an expression, just as
Jesus (Ppuh) called the devil the 'father of lies' and as John called
the Jews the children of vipers.
