Of all that Jesus came into this world to do, I believe the most important thing -- aside from dying an atoning death to purchase our salvation, was to reveal to us the Father.
We are so accustomed to referring to God as our Heavenly Father that we forget that until Jesus came into the world this was a designation for God that was seldom used in the Old Testament Scriptures.
In fact, God is only referred to as "Father" thirteen times in the entire Old Testament, while in the Gospel of John alone Jesus calls God His Father 151 times.
It took Jesus, God in the flesh, to reveal the Father heart of God. And yet, many followers of Christ still find it difficult to relate to God as Father. I've come to believe that there is nothing is more vital to strong, stable, healthy relationship with God, than knowing how to relate to Him as Father.
Join us Sunday at The Bridge as we explore the Father Heart of God.
Needed -- Envelope Stuffers on Thursday
The Bridge has once again been requested to help stuff envelopes for the upcoming Care Net Pregnancy Center banquet. This is a great way to serve a wonderful ministry.
If you are free this Thursday, March 20th and want to help out, please join us at the church at 7 P.M. With enough hands this will only take about an hour, so please join us if you are able.
Blessings,
Bo
