Bible Note: Bauhania - Although Jesus is God, the second member of the triunity, the triune God being God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, the model prayer that Jesus himself gave to His followers (Matthew 6:9-13) begins, "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name." Ephesians 2:18 teaches that believers have access to the Father through Christ, and Jesus taught that we should pray to the Father in His name (John 14:13,14). The Bible does not specifically command against praying to Jesus, but it does instruct to pray to the Father in Jesus' name. --Hank |
