The book Jesus continually referred to God as "your God" and the parable Luke 6.36 says "your father". If Jesus is to be interpreted as God then the word "your" would not be necessary in the book or the parable. The word "your" signifies that God is different to all people; like stated in the passage of "The Color Purple". It is really interesting to me because I could never referred to the higher power that I believed in as "God". I do believe in a higher power but I can't refer to him or her as God. It was all explained to me when the book stated that Jesus is signified as God. Jesus states that for Jesus, God walked on real life. And all these verses in the Bible may be interpreted in many ways.
I believe in a higher power but it is not Jesus. I believe that it is our responsibility to pay our respects to our ancestors that have deceased and have been to battle and war for our life that we have today. Jesus is mystical to me but I know that one before, my ancestors actually did walk this Earth. It is our duty to make this world a better place for those who have passed on and left what we have today. It is our duty to share love and show the world what we, today, are capable of. Though I believe in a higher power, it is not Jesus. But from this chapter, I guess I can refer to my ideal higher power as God because "God" isn't just Jesus, it's whomever our interpretation or imagination allows him to be. He is MY Father, he is MY God.
