Luke 11:2 2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven,
Jesus is providing us with a wonderful gift – the gift of prayer, the gift of communion with our Holy Lord.
We as believers often need to be reminded that pray is not just a duty – It is a high privilege. In fact it is the highest of all privileges – to speak with the king of the universe directly, singularly, without any human mediator or charms or ritual or even animal sacrifices. Because of our wonderful Savior, our only mediator, we have access to the Lord of all Creation – and faith in Jesus grants us the awesome privilege to call upon our Creator as our Father.
Think about this privilege: When was the last you spoke with your governor in a private meeting let alone through some sort of private communications such as a letter or so? Now, how about your President? Most of us, if not all of us, will never have the privilege to speak one on one with any high official – let alone the President of the United States, who is the most powerful figure head in the world.
While I am not saying anything new, we as the beloved of the Lord need to meditate on the wonder of it all – just to think that we have direct access to our Creator-Father 24/7 because of Jesus Christ who died to tear down the wall, the veil that separated us from our Holy God because of our sin.
