Our Father: To me this means we are all God's children. We are all one family. This means we are to treat everyone as if they were a part of our own family. This is to include unconditional love. Jesus says we are "One", which is in reference to us spiritually. Jesus never taught anything pertaining to the material world, it's goods or values. Those who say that He did are mistaken. Jesus abhorred money and material things because He knows that the things of this world detract from the spiritual and only keep us from finding and following the path that leads back to our heavenly Father. Many believe that what they are teaching the same things that Jesus taught, but if their teachings involve improving ones social status or material well being, they are in fact teaching the opposite. We need to focus on the fact that we all come from the same origins, that being our Father in heaven. And we will all return to Him one day. But if we fail to put God first and see others as our brothers and sisters, then the path we need to find and follow back to God is nowhere in sight. The world today needs to realize this or the pains we are headed for are going to be severe.
Matthew 6:19
Matthew 22:37-40
Matthew 6:33 (these things=spiritual)
