Do you know what the Christian name for God is? Father: Jesus said when you pray say, ‘Our Father in heaven…’ – There’s a wonderful old photograph of President John F Kennedy sitting working at his desk in the Whitehouse; the most powerful seat in the world. Underneath the desk sits his young son, John junior. No other boy had such instant access to the President. No other boy could call this man “Dad”. How amazing to have such a father! When a Christian prays, we enter into heaven’s throne room: we sit at the feet of the Most High, the Almighty, the ruler and Sustainer of the universe, and we call Him “Father”!
