Lords Prayer in the Sermon on the Mount
March 12, 2009
U. Luz, in the Dictionary of Jesus and the Bible, is cited as saying that the Sermon on the Mount has been built around the Lord’s Prayer as its centerpiece. Not having his work, this week our intrepid adult class will use the text, some scissors and tape to attempt to correlate sections of the Sermon to the 7 phrases of the Prayer.
Do you want to play?
The phrases of the Prayer: 1. Our Father in heaven 2. hallowed be your name 3. your kingdom come 4. your will be done… 5. give us ….bread 6. Forgive us…as we forgive 7. Lead us not…but deliver.
The units, based on NIV divisions:
(5:1-12; 5:13-16; 5:17-20; 5:21-26; 5:27-30; 5:31-32; 5:33-37; 5:38-42; 5:43-48; 6:1-4; 6:5-8; 6:9-15; 6:16-18; 6:19-24; 6:25-34; 7:1-6; 7:7-12; 7:13-14; 7:15-23; 7:24-29)
Have fun, I will post my results next week.
