Listen from:
We “give thanks unto the Father.” Does this mean at the prayer or the open meeting only? No, it is a grave and deplorable omission when only the Lord Jesus is addressed at the breaking of the bread.  ...  There is the deepest claim on our affections in the humiliation and sufferings of the Lord Jesus. He, and He only, suffered for our sins; He loved and gave Himself for me. What believer’s heart could be dead or dull to such an appeal as this? But in fact both the Father and the Son are to be worshipped now. In the Revelation we see them both the joint object of heaven’s adoration, and the Holy Spirit using the Word as the standard is the only safe guide as to where and when. Undoubtedly when we worship God as God, we include Father, Son and Holy Spirit. There is room and place for all.
