How did Jesus teach us to pray? Believe it or not, He actually gave us a template for prayer. In this episode of The Manifesto: Life Politics and Reality in the Kingdom of God we continue our walk through what is traditionally known as the Sermon on the Mount. Today we are looking at “the Lord’s Prayer.” When Jesus presented this to His followers He never intended that we follow this model as a formula, or memorization test. He was providing a template for us to follow in learning how to pray.
What we traditionally refer to as the “Sermon on the Mount” was actually a revolutionary manifesto for a new way of life in the Kingdom of God. In today’s unsettling and polarized age, the teachings of this Kingdom Manifesto are as relevant and vital as ever.
In this multi-part series, JB Shreve and Faithful Considerations takes a deep dive into the Manifesto: Life, Politics, and Reality in the Kingdom of God.
9 Pray like this:
Our Father in heaven,
may your name be kept holy.
10 May your Kingdom come soon.
May your will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven.
11 Give us today the food we need,[a]
12 and forgive us our sins,
as we have forgiven those who sin against us.
13 And don’t let us yield to temptation,[b]
but rescue us from the evil one.[c]
Matthew 6:9-13
