26. He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father. David’s descendants would be a praying race, and so in the main they
were, and when they were not they smarted for it. The Lord Jesus was preeminent
in prayer, and his favorite mode of address was “Father.” My God—so our Lord called his Father when upon the cross. And the rock of my salvation. It was to his Father that he turned in
Gethsemane, and to him he committed his spirit in death. To say to God Thou art my father is more than learning and talent can teach us; the new birth
is essential to this.
