“After this manner therefore pray ye:” Matthew 6–12 The prayer He
suggested is commonly called The Lord’s Prayer, but is, more precisely,
The Disciples Prayer. It is to be
found in the Book of Matthew, Chapter Six, Verse Twelve, of the King
James Version of the Bible, (known as the KJV) and successor of The
Geneva Bible. There is no
indication Jesus himself ever prayed this prayer. Yet the comprehensive
majesty, and simplicity of this prayer has captivated those who have read it
and prayed it. It is beautiful, easily remembered, and suitable for
meditation. “Our Father
Which Art In Heaven,”
brings to mind the biblical prohibition on our calling anyone else Father,
presumably only excluding our own biological father. The Church’s usurpation
of the name “Father” is not biblical. “Hallowed Be
Thy Name.” echoes the
First Second Third and Fourth Commandments. “Thy Kingdom
Come, Thy Will Be Done, In Earth As In Heaven.” declares the immortal promise of the
Savior dying for us to fulfill the promises of God. “Give Us this
Day Our Daily Bread, And Forgive Us Our Debts, As We Forgive Our Debtors.” asks God’s help in living this life of
temptation, meanness and cruelty, and invokes His help in loving our brother.
Not everyone, but at least our brothers. “For Thine Is
The Kingdom, The Power, And The Glory, For Ever. Amen.” affirms God’s power to do all this that
we ask and our obedience to his perfect will. |
