Matthew : Season 3 - Week 1
MATTHEW : SEASON 3 - Teach Us To Pray
If there were a list of the words of Jesus that have been most often quoted by people, Matthew 6:9-13 - called The Lord’s Prayer - would have to be included. But because this prayer is so familiar, the danger is that we’ll stop seeing it well and the words will become unfamiliar. IN this week, we’ll examine the opening words, and the fact that one of most important elements of this prayer that we’ve lost is the importance of the order of the prayer. Jesus first invites us to consider that God is a Father, and that everything else flows from that understanding. God is a good King, yes, but he’s more than that. He’s a good Father. And Jesus is reminding us straightaway, that’s who we pray to, in the Lord’s prayer—our good King, our good Father.
