For
you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the
Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." Romans
8:15 NKJV
Grace is like a finely cut diamond. It is brilliant with many facets that glow
and shine. Many facets of grace are
found in the Lord’s Prayer. The first is
found in just the first two words, “Our Father”. There is the grace of adoption by God and
brotherhood with Christ. What a
wonderful family we have been granted by grace.
God the Father Almighty is our Father.
Nothing is too hard for Him to do for us. Christ is our brother. The totality of our failed human condition is
known to Him, but He receives us by grace.
The simple word, Father, alone raises us to
the ecstasy of belonging to God. We are
His children by His grace. He sought us
when we were in rebellion against Him and clothed us with the garments of
heaven. He feeds us with the bread of
life and holds our hand during each moment of our daily walk through life. He loves to hear our chatter and delights
when we crawl into His lap for a close snuggle.
O dear and precious words, “Our Father”.
Dear
Precious Father, our Father, comfort us with these words of grace today. Amen.
