“Jesus Christ… Father of Heaven and of Earth”
Christ is the Father of the faithful-the Father of all who are born again and take upon themselves his name. He is the Father in the sense that through his atoning sacrifice we are born into a newness of life and are born again in the resurrection as immortal and eternal beings. He is also the Father in the sense that he did the labor of creation-all things having been created by him. See Commentary 2:168-76, 225-30.
