God: Beyond Gender, Fatherhood, and Spiritual Truths #shorts

Lesson Transcript

You know, in a lot of pagan religions, they worship the Great Mother. I mean, you know, uh, Greatest Diana, and the Romans had the Great Mother that, that they worshiped. And God is not male or female. I think we all know that. He's spirit. When we get to heaven, we're not going to see a guy with white hair the way he's, you know, sometimes portrayed. He's not male or female. But he has chosen, just in his relationship with us as humans, to portray himself as a father.

And so I don't know what greater way that he could do to honor us. So it's why Jesus said, when we pray, we pray, "Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name." And then when Jesus gave us the parable of the prodigal son, he pictured God again as a father.
