God has, as it were, placed Himself on display in the art gallery of the universe. He beckons His people, you and me, to stand in awe as we behold the symmetry of His attributes, the harmony of His deeds, the glory of His goodness, the overwhelming and unfathomable grandeur of His greatness; in a word, His beauty. God is infinitely splendid and invites us to come and bask in His beauty that we might enjoy Him to the fullest.

FATHER

BASIC R.C. BELIEF Jesus’ command in Matthew 23:9 doesn’t apply to the use of that term for the priests, but that it is merely a title that shows respect. The priests, as ordinary ministers of Baptism, are regarded as spiritual fathers.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT A study of Matthew 23:9 reveals that Jesus was talking about being called Father as a title of religious superiority, precisely as the priests are called. This religious superiority is the basis for the Hierarchy.
