       So, just as many of us are familiar with having a loving, earthly Father, we know that we have a Father, who is truly our Father, in Heaven who loves us greatly. The Apostle Paul even took it so far as to say we are to address God as ‘Daddy’ (see Romans 8). Now, the second part of the open, “Our Father in heaven” involves where God is. So, third, we note that God the Father is in Heaven. That is where he resides. Again, we learned a couple weeks ago that God is in Heaven because this world has been affected by sin. God no longer freely comes down to the earth and communes with us like he did with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Now, God did come down to the earth as God the Son, Jesus, but he went back up to Heaven until his enemies can be made a footstool for his feet—until the world is ridded of sin. So, today, Jesus sits at the right hand of God in the throne room of Heaven. In the same breath, it’s also true that God the Holy Spirit dwells within each of us, as Christians. We are collectively God’s temple as the body of Christ, but we are also individually temples of God.
