Aspects of The Lord's Prayer from Gethsemane to Crucifixion - a podcast by John Stephenson

Using the section of Matthew 26:36f, we are reminded that when life is challenging it brings out both the best and the worst in us. When we look at Jesus in Gethsemane, He is at His most pressured. He still has choices there. What are His core values and how does He respond to others though?

The main points to The Lord’s Prayer are:
Honouring and knowing who God is; celebrating His Will and what He has done and thanking God for His provision. We see these points in action at this time in Jesus' earthly life.

We are also reminded that prayer is aligning ourselves with God’s Will and listening to Him, as well as watching with, being with and identifying with those that are troubled or in distress. Prayer is essentially listening, not speaking.

The Lord's Prayer is the way of living, our core values that should be in our daily lives. It isn't purely just good advice that Jesus gave.

"The summing up of the whole Gospel is in The Lord’s Prayer." Tertullian (c155-c240)
