The Disciples’ Prayer
11:1 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he stopped, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
11:2 So he said to them, “When you pray, say: Father, may your name be honored; may your kingdom come.
11:3 Give us each day our daily bread,
11:4 and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And do not lead us into temptation.”
Luke 11:1-4
Key Point: We are called to live out our lives as part of God’s new creation on earth now, in preparation for heaven
