When Jesus tells us to come to God as Father, he is not implying that our image of what it means to be a “father” is correct, but that His understanding and experience is. Some people have had poor fathers. Jesus in effect is saying, “Let me introduce you to my Dad: and, by the way, He wants to adopt you and be your Dad, too.” Conversations Within” ts 6/7/2013 (Atlantic Beach, FL)
