In our third look at Matthew 6:1-18, which contains the Lord’s Prayer, or the Our Father, we examine the prayer itself, which serves not only as a prayer of Christians of all places and times but also as a model for our praying. It consists of an initial address to God, three requests for God’s glory, and three requests for our more pressing needs.
Adam was a type of Christ, each having the same role as the representative of his people, but with opposite outcomes.
During a time of peace, God built up his church through the preaching of his word and powerful signs.
When we fulfill the roles assigned to us by God, both children and parents end up happier.
