Child of God

"Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned towards him and said in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (This means “Teacher”.)

“Do not hold on to me,” Jesus told her, “because I have not yet gone back up to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them that I am returning to him who is my Father and their Father, my God and their God.”

So Mary Magdalene went and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and related to them what he had told her."

~ John 20.16-18 GNB

Do not hold on to Jesus' physical presence but to the Father. His Father in heaven and their Father and God. He made it explicit that his Father is their Father.

And by extension to all Jesus' followers and me, my Father and God. I am a child of God.
