Leave the Wrong Father and Believe
We all have people that have passed out of this life and are no longer with us. Wouldn't it be great if someone came to you and said, "I've got a message for you from them!" What would we do? We'd listen, welcome them in and ask them so many questions! Jesus said he came from God and that he had an incredible message from him for us; why don't more people readily accept him and what he has to say? Because we are trusting in religion and self improvement/righteousness we ignore what Christ has to say. More than, people often find him and his message to be offensive. We all like to think that God is our Father and that we'd listen to what he has to say, but Christ made it clear that there are 2 fathers and that we will act from the character of our father. Will you hear him and get a new father and do his deeds and love him?
