Temptation, Evil, and God’s Kingdom- Jeremy Duncan
Manage episode 475591592 series 1170052
Today we explore the powerful conclusion to the Lord's Prayer, examining the familiar yet mysterious lines about temptation, evil, and the well-known benediction: "For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever."
In this message, we unpack some fascinating questions:
- Why do we ask God not to lead us into temptation? Does God actually tempt us?
- What exactly is "the evil" we’re being delivered from? Is it the devil, or something closer to home?
- Where did the popular benediction at the end of the prayer originate, and why isn't it included in all biblical manuscripts?
Discover the rich historical roots of the Lord's Prayer and its early usage in the ancient text known as the Didache, along with how early Christian communities shaped this prayer we still recite today.
Join us as we delve deep into practical and spiritual insights, exploring how this prayer shapes our understanding of God, community, and our role in transforming the world around us. Learn how Jesus invites us not to simply resist temptation but to actively refuse to remain in a world of brokenness and injustice.
Subscribe and journey with us into a deeper understanding of prayer, faith, and what it truly means to live out God's kingdom on earth.
