TCR 113 - the New Church and the Lord's Prayer

TCR 113
. . . the idea of God enters into every part of religion,
and it is this which establishes conjunction with God,
and that conjunction is the means of salvation.
We in heaven recite that prayer every day,
just as people on earth do;
but then we do not think of God the Father, since He is invisible,
but we think of Him in His Divine Human, since in this He is visible.
In this you call Him Christ, we call Him the Lord;
thus the Lord is our Father in the heavens.

. . . at the present time a new church is being established by the Lord,
which is meant by the New Jerusalem in Revelation.
In this church worship will be directed to the Lord alone,
as it is in heaven,
and thus all will be accomplished
which the Lord's Prayer contains from beginning to end.
