"Our Father..."

In his book The Lord and His Prayer , NT Wright asserts that the phrase "Our Father" (in Greek/Aramaic "father" is the very first word) is pregnant with theological and personal meaning. Far beyond sentiment, it is a declaration that God is one's Father, as in creator, authority, protector, and all that father-hood implies. It is also the proclamation of the progressively advancing eschatological reality of the "already/not yet" Kingdom of God.

That said, when you utter the phrase "Our Father" what does it mean to you?

Please share your reflections on what it means to call God Father.
