This Father’s Day, Richard dives into one of the images we see of God as Father in Luke 11. In a world where it was not common to address God on a personal basis as Father, they had to go to the temple and have someone intervene for them, Jesus taught them to pray to God and address them as Father (Abba). To go one step further, Jesus tells them that the Father loves them and to those who ask it will be given.

God is a present father, not an absent one.
