[Summary of Marcus Dods on the Lord's Prayer] When the utmost skill and strength of the child have failed, he runs to his father, never doubting that with him is more skill and sufficient strength. We must not lower the Father to our level. We must seek His level, the words and lovely ways of heaven itself. If we cannot see a solution, we must never think that God sees none either. He sees as we cannot and nothing will be impossible with Him. Pray to "Our Father in heaven" and know that He sees clearly the...

Prayer is our life-long communication with God the Father. He is our Father in the real sense of that word. Our earthly fathers sired us. After that they may leave us or raise us, abuse us or love us or ignore us, but there is only one father of us.

Just like there was never found a king in Israel who was up to the task of being the head of God's kingdom of men, not even David, so there has never been found a father who is truly worthy of the title. There are some very good ones, and...

We must always avoid doing what we do to be seen by others.

In instructing us about prayer, the Lord told us to shut out all others and to shut ourselves in with God and then concentrate on our relationship with Him.

We've seen the context of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew, which immediate context is the Sermon on the Mount. In Matthew, Jesus' ministry begins with His message of "repent for the kingdom of God is at hand." Then, He calls some disciples to follow Him and they leave their old life behind and immediately do so. Matthew is emphasizing obedience, which is the necessary component of the Sermon on the Mount, which is the life and conduct of the blessed disciple of Christ who is not under the law, but has the law written on his heart because he...

Main idea: The Lord's great sermon is a command to love and live in the image of Christ.

In the midst of it, the Lord shows us how to pray. His prayer is a framework by which we are to keep in consistent communication with God as we strive to learn to love God's great law.

The flesh is always with you. You may wonder why you are regularly tempted to do and think that which is contrary to righteousness. There is nothing wrong with you, or rather, there is something very wrong with you, but the same wrong is wrong with everyone. We are all wretched men and women, but who have been saved and cleansed. We must learn that life for us does not consist in looking with disgust and depression at what is corrupt in us, but in purposefully grabbing hold of the righteousness that God has given us. It is the righteousness of heaven.
