Luke 11:1-4 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”
2 So He said to them, “When you pray, say:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.”
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.”
When His disciples asked Jesus how to pray He gave them what we now commonly call the Lords Prayer. This is a wonderful example of the Trinity in action. Powered by the Holy Spirit, Jesus , the Son speaks to the Father. So when he says "Your Kingdom come." He is not only telling us to request, seek, work for, His Kingdom, He is also speaking it into existence.
We, by turning our lives over to God, become citizens in His magnificent Kingdom.
He is the King of kings.
