Is He Really Our Father? C S Lewis

                                                    Is He Really Our Father?

[Jesus said, "This then is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven....']

About The Lord's Prayer - Words from C S Lewis

"Its very first words are 'Our Father.' Do you see what those words mean? They mean,  quite frankly, that you are putting yourself in the place of a son of God.

To put it bluntly, you are dressing up as Christ.

If you like, you are pretending.

Because, of course, the moment you realize what the words mean, you realize that you are not a son of God. You are not being like the Son of God, whose will and interests are one with those of the Father; you are a bundle of self-centered fears, hopes, greeds, jealousies, and self-conceit, all doomed to death.

So that, in a way, this dressing up as Christ, is an act of outrageous arrogance.

But the odd thing  is He ordered us to do it..."
