If you were to show up at a Christian prayer meeting, you would probably hear most of those praying begin by including the word "Father" in their address to God. Throughout the Old Testament, the Jews avoided addressing God as their Father directly, but then Jesus came along and showed us that we too can address God as Father. As we study the Bible we find that 'Father' is not just a title for God, but The Father is the first person of the Trinity. Who is the person of the Father, and what does it mean to know Him as such?
