Bible Question: Can we pray to Jesus? In studying when Jesus taught the disciples to pray...he taught "Our Father, etc.....but the question is asked is it wrong to pray to Jesus. I know that Stephen did...need comments on this. Thanks |
Bible Answer: Jesus fulfilled the law. He is the High Priest of God, who made the perfect sacrifice, and went before God on our behalf. By His blood, we too enter into the presence of God, where the Messiah sits at the right hand. To pray is to talk, to communicate. If you enter by faith in the blood, you may address God the Father, yet the Son is One with Him and right there, with the Spirit of God filling all. Jesus taught the disciples by example more than anything, in prayer as well. Continuously communicating with the Father, separating Himself at times to call out to God. Praying to God with the disciples. All are our model of 'how to pray'. And there is no confusion amongst the Eternal, addressing Him in each way is sound practice. Though we may not understand, or have the words, He can see our hearts clearly. Even more wonderful, the Spirit of God inside you can lead your conversation with the Lord, and thus 'teach you how to pray' right here and now. How amazing is that! I absolutely love this verse in Isaiah 41:25, "... from the rising of the sun, one that calls upon my name ..." From the dawning of the day, the appearance of light, one that calls upon my name. It is the Lord, who has brought forth a new day, and in Him we are able to continuously call upon the name of the Eternal! |
