from Luke 11:1-8 and Matthew 6:12
“By praying the Lord’s Prayer we are being made into a people whose journey is a sign to the world that God has not abandoned the world to its own devices but is present as a people on the move, a people moving from their old ways and means, ordinary people who have been given the extraordinary authority to be part of the divine assault on the realm of evil.” This quote from Willimon and Hauerwas speaks of a journey. A journey away from one thing toward another. A journey away from a dead-end reality toward one that has no end.
As we journey through the season of Lent together considering line by line the prayer that Jesus taught us to pray, may it be for us a journey of becoming more like the One Who gave us this great prayer.
