“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name, your kingdom come,
your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For yours is the kingdom and the power
and the glory forever.
Amen.
(Matthew 6:9-13)
‘“Our Father in heaven
hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.
May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us each day our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.”’
(Luke 11:2-4)
G’day! Welcome to Partakers Podcasts! Over the next few podcasts we are going to look together at Prayer. We will do this by taking apart slowly perhaps one of the best known passages of the Bible, in what we call the Lord’s Prayer. It is a prayer which is common to all churches of all denominations, just as it is known to those of others faiths and indeed, no faith at all.
Why the Lord’s Prayer? Personally, I find it helpful to regularly go back to basics, to what should be familiar territory for somebody who has been a Christian for about 40 years now. I need to be reminded of the things that we commonly cal the basics. So reflecting upon and pondering upon what the Lord’s Prayer means, is part of those basics to me. And if you are not like that tonight, it is still a good thing I think to go back every so often and be reminded.
