“Pray Then Like This” - Dr. Doug Melton

  Matthew 6:9-13

  “No other prayer has wielded as much influence in the history of religious devotions.”

  Joachim Jeremias

  “How many and how great are the things contained in the Lord‘s prayer! They are briefly collected in the words, but our spiritual abundant in virtue! This prayer omits absolutely nothing but includes all.“

  Cyprian (3rd c.)

  “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

1. His praise, our place

  “ … an abridgement of the entire Gospel.”

  Tertullian

  “Consequently, He is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.“

  Hebrews 7:25

  “Jesus said to her, ‘Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am sending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ “

  John 20:17

  “Let this doctrine give thee boldness to come to God. Shall Jesus Christ be interceding in heaven? Oh, then, be thou a praying man on earth; yea, take courage to pray. Think thus with thyself — I go to God, to God, before whose throne the Lord Jesus is ready to hand my petitions to Him; yea, ‘He ever lives to make intercession for me.’ This is a great encouragement to come to God by prayers and supplications for ourselves, and by intercessions for our families, our neighbors, and enemies.“

  John Bunyan

2. His provision, our poverty

3. His pardon, our part

4. His power, our “prone to wander”
