“I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named."~ Eph. 3:14
After Jesus rose, He told Mary 960.00 to tell His disciples, "I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."~Jn. 20:17
How wonderful; we are of the same family. We have the same Father and God. And not only that, we also carry the same name—Christian.
God is distinctly a family Man. He instituted the family. God's family is a prototype of all the families on earth. And, like other families, someday we will have a great family reunion. Right now, our family is separated from one another. Some have already gone home to be with the Father; others of us are scattered throughout the earth. But in that coming, eventful day, "They shall come from the east and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the Kingdom of God."
And we are guaranteed at that Heavenly gathering, not one family member will be missing—not even the, so called, black sheep of the family.
