"‘Our Father in heaven…�?By teaching humans to think of God as

their Father, Jesus changed the image they had of him. He led

them out of a world governed exclusively by justice, into one of

love, goodness and forgiveness. They were no longer the servants

of an inflexible, implacable master but the children of a

loving, merciful Father.

This change in the way people saw the relationship between

themselves and the Lord brought with it another even deeper

change, also mentioned in the Gospels but not yet fully

understood. This change in perspective concerns the nature of

human beings themselves. If God is our Father, we are of the

same nature as him. You’ll never see a father and his children

be of a different nature. And if we are of the same nature as

God, we can identify with him. This is why Jesus also said, ‘Be

perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.�?
