Read Matthew 7:7-11.
This is the wonderful passage in which Jesus enunciated the primary truth of the Fatherhood of God. He says here, definitely and clearly, that the real relationship of God and man is that of parent and child. It is extremely difficult to realize the far-reaching importance that this declaration holds for the life of the soul.
It is axiomatic, of course, that the offspring must be of the same nature and species as the parent; and so if God and man are indeed Father and child, man must be essentially divine too, and susceptible of infinite development up the rising pathway of divinity. That is to say, as man’s true nature unfolds, he will expand in spiritual consciousness until he has transcended all bounds of human imagination. It is in reference to our glorious destiny, that Jesus himself says elsewhere, quoting the older scriptures:
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken…(John 10:34-35).
Think about that most radical truth for a moment. We are children of God and divine in true nature and parentage. When we accept the universe altering truth of this, our sensory perception, our reality and every aspect of our lives will change radically and fundamentally for the better. Isn’t today a good day to accept being a child of God in all its beauty and magnificence? It is good to be in the garden God created for his children.
Christ’s (our brother and savior) Peace,
