Simon Wallace - I went through Confirmation classes to "confirm my faith in God" and become a member of the church. I don't remember the Bible being opened during these classes to have God's way of salvation explained. I had been baptised as a child and after these sessions was now a member of the church, and yet I remained ignorant as to the very reason for which Christ came into the world...
V. HUMAN RELATION TO GOD. John 20:17 — "Jesus saith unto her, touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them I ascend unto my Father and your Father; and to my God and your God."
Proposition: Jesus Christ called the Father "My God.' Jesus Christ bore the relation of man to God the Father.
