The Lord's Prayer (part 1). In the Gospel of Luke this prayer is given in still briefer form. The occasion there was that the disciples, after the Lord had prayed, said to him, "Lord teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say. " Here, however, "After this manner pray ye." The use of forms is sanctioned; so is extemporary prayer. Better a " form of sound words" than no family worship. Consider— I. THE ADDRESS TO ... read more

The pattern of prayer. Parallel passage: Luke 11:2-4 . For most suggestive remarks on the Lord's Prayer, both generally and in its greater difficulties of detail, compare by all means Chase, 'The Lord's Prayer in the Early Church:' (Cambridge Texts and Studies). Observe: (a) St. Matthew's words, "Forgive us our debts," represent an older, because parabolic, form of expression than the apparently interpretative "Forgive us our sins" in St. Luke. (b) St. Matthew's words, "as we... read more

The dualities of the Lord's Prayer. Of this prayer Ward Beecher says, "One knows not which most to admire in this form—its loftiness of spirit, its comprehensiveness, its brevity, its simplicity, or its union of human and Divine elements. All prayer may be said to have crystallized in this prayer. The Church has worn it for hundreds of years upon her bosom, as the brightest gem of devotion." Forms of devotion seem to have been provided by the ecclesiastical rulers. New forms had been given... read more

The Lord's Prayer. This is the model prayer. It is not simply one form of prayer intended to supersede all others, or to take its place among prayers of a different character. It is the type and pattern of all prayer. "After this manner therefore pray ye." Let us note its leading characteristics. I. IN FORM IT IS BRIEF , CLEAR , AND SIMPLE . This is offered in contrast to the vain repetitions of the heathen. It is not the length of a prayer, but the reality of it, that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 6:10
Thy kingdom come. Let there come the full establishment of thy realm. The prayer passes from the personal acceptance in the heart of God's revelation of himself to the consequent result. The clause has a much wider meaning than the development and spread of the Church, or even the personal return of Christ at the second advent. It speaks of that which shall be the issue of both this and that, the final and perfect establishment of God's realm, in which all men will do him willing service,... read more

The Lord's Prayer (part 2). The verses before us contain three of the seven petitions of this model prayer. These are— I. THAT THE KINGDOM OF GOD MIGHT COME . 1 . God ' s absolute empire is in his arm. 2 . The kingdom coming is the gospel in triumph. 3 . We should pray for the coming of Christ in his kingdom. II. THAT THE WILL OF GOD MIGHT BE DONE . 1 . In the heavens it is perfectly done. 2 . The will of God is man ' s... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 6:11
Give us this day our daily bread τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον Here begin the petitions for our personal needs. The first is for earthly food, the means of maintaining our earthly life. For "in order to serve God it is first of all necessary that we live" (Godet, on Luke). Give us. The order in the Greek emphasizes not God's grace in giving, but the thing asked for. This day. Parallel passage: Luke 11:3 , "day by day ( τὸ καθ ἡμέραν )." The... read more

The fourth petition. Introduce by a few remarks on the sublime simplicity of the petitions of this prayer, typified in none better perhaps than in this. Give also simple explanation of the word rendered here "daily," to the effect that it does not repeat the meaning contained in "this day," but designates rather the natural requirement of any one, and the portion needful and allotted to him by parental care and love. Then the petition may be vivified, and a grateful realizing of its... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 6:1-18
Sermon on the mount: 4. Ostentatious religion. After indicating the righteousness which admits to the kingdom of heaven, our Lord proceeds to warn against a flaw that vitiates the goodness of many religious people, and to illustrate it in connection with three chief characteristics of the religious life of those days—alms-giving, prayer, and fasting. I. ALMSGIVING has been recognized as one of the first duties by most religions. Under the Jewish Law the poor were well provided for. It... read more
