Jesus ends the Lord’s Prayer where some of us forget to begin: with the reality of evil and our need for rescue. From “Our Father” to “the evil one,” the prayer acknowledges a world shaped by tension. One that sits between provision and scarcity, forgiveness and resentment, temptation and deliverance. Jesus teaches us to pray as he does, not because God would tempt us, but so that He would lead us wisely through a landscape filled with alluring sin. We choose proximity to our Shepherd, as we delight in him. And because we cannot save ourselves, we cry out for deliverance, trusting the God who rescues us from evil and, together, draws us back into His kingdom.
