One of Jesus’ disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to
pray, as John also taught his disciples.” (Luke 11:1). Jesus answered him with
the things that are important to Him and the things that are why Jesus came to
dwell among His creation.
Jesus’ name is holy and sanctified. (James 2:7). Salvation
is through His name. (Acts 2:38, Matthew 1:21, Acts 4:12). His name Jesus is
above every name, and at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow. (Philippians 2:9,
10). Jesus came to bring His kingdom.
(John 3:5, Luke 17:21, Romans 14:17). We are to do the will of His Spirit, not
the will of flesh. (Galatians 5:16). He is the one we are to seek for daily provision,
both physical and spiritual. (Matthew 4:4). When we sin against Jesus, we look
to Him to forgive us. We in turn must forgive others when they sin against us. (Mark
11:25-26). Through Jesus, we are able to not yield to temptation. (1
Corinthians 10:13, Acts 1:8). It is Jesus that will deliver us from evil. (2
Thessalonians 3:3, 2 Timothy 4:18). The kingdom, the power, and the glory,
forever all belong to Jesus. (Luke 1:33, 2 Peter 3:18).
Jesus answered, “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our
Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And
forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil: for thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, for ever. Amen." - Matthew 6:9-13 KJV (Also: Luke 11:1-4)
