Mt27

The only time Jesus referred to God as "God" was when He was dying on the cross! It was not a cry for help, but a cry of desperation!  Jesus felt abandoned and lost!  He was saving us all.

What is the point?  Now we can refer to God as "Father".  Jesus bridged the distance between us and God!  He bought relationship for us!  Now we can cry out in desperation, "Father".  "Abba Father".

Thank you Jesus for making a way for me to have relationship with God!

    what an awesome observation.
    the great exchange contains even more exchange than i originally even thought.

    Jesus called God His Father.
    We called His Father God.

    On the cross, Jesus called His Father God.
    And now we can call God our Father.

    Awesome!
