I hope praying the Lord’s Prayer every day has been fruitful for you as we wrap up. In some versions, there’s the classic addition of “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” Not here to debate when this was added or whether or not that matters or not. But it is a good reminder, that all of this is from God and for God. It is God’s work through the power of the Holy Spirit and the act of Jesus’ life and death and resurrection that has made it so that we can even know who God is. This is the Good News. And like we talked about this week - the Good News of Jesus is the point of it all, for ourselves following Jesus, and for the world around us where we find ourselves.
Side note - most of the inspiration for this came from this podcast episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/exploring-my-strange-bible/id1271147429?i=1000392193113
It’s the third part of a 3-part series on discipleship. I highly recommend listening to all three episodes.
