  1. The Lord’s Prayer Lent 2011

  2. Four Fixtures of catechesis Apostles’ Creed Lord’s Prayer Ten Commandments The Sacraments

  3. Apostles’ Creed: What we believe. Lord’s Prayer: How we pray. Ten Commandments: How we behave.

  4. Apostles’ Creed: What we believe (lexcredendi). Lord’s Prayer: How we pray (lexorandi). Ten Commandments: How we behave (lexvivendi).

  5. “Lexorandi, lexcredendi est.” The law of prayer is the law of belief. As we pray (or worship), so we really believe.

  6. “As we pray and believe, so shall we live” Worship & Theology & Ethics

  7. The Lord’s Prayer “This, then, is how you should pray . . .” Matthew 6:9 The Lord’s Prayer is intended as a general guide to prayer, not a rote form.

  8. The Lord’s Prayer “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.”

  9. The Lord’s Prayer “Father” is popularly understood to imply a new, personal intimacy in Christ. More accurately, it emphasizes the corporate identity of those praying.

  10. OT Background Two tributaries: Israel David

  11. Israel 22Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the LORD, Israel is my firstborn son, 23and I say to you, “Let my son go that he may serve me.”’ Exodus 4

  12. Israel 16Foryou are our Father, though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us;you, O LORD, are our Father,our Redeemer from of old is your name. Isaiah 55

  13. David 14 I will be to him (David) a father, and he shall be to me a son. 2 Samuel 7

  14. David 10 In that day the heir to David’s throne will be a banner of salvation to all the world. Isaiah 11 (NLT)

  15. David 1 Come, everyone who thirsts,come to the waters . . . 3Incline your ear, and come to me;hear, that your soul may live;and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.” Isaiah 55

  16. “Our Father” We are the Exodus people. We are the Messiah’s people. Both identities come with privileges and responsibilities.

  17. Wrong Identities: the Younger Son 13Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living. Luke 15

  18. Wrong Identities: the Older Brother 28But he was angry and refused to go in . . . His father came out and entreated him, 29but he answered his father, ‘Look, these many years I have served you, and I never disobeyed your command, yet you never gave me a young goat, that I might celebrate with my friends. 30But when this son of yours came, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him!'

  19. True Identity: Our Father 31And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. 32It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.'

  20. “Our Father” “in heaven” We pray as those redeemed, but also longing for full, “heavenly” redemption in the future.

  21. “Our Father” “hallowed be your name” We accept our role as those who believe (credendi), pray (orandi), and live (vivendi) in a way that demonstrates to one another and the world who God is.

  22. Lent and the Lord’s Prayer Lent is a time to move more intentionally and fully into our identity as sons and daughters in Christ, with God “our Father.”

  23. The Lord’s Prayer Our Father in heaven,hallowed be your Name,your kingdom come,your will be done, on earth as in heaven.

  24. Give us today our daily bread.Forgive us our sinsas we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial,and deliver us from evil.

  25. For the kingdom, the power,and the glory are yoursnow and for ever. Amen.
