TNDL: What was the prayer that Yeshua, the Messiah, taught his disciples to pray, which is the prayer of the Lord Yeshua the Christ, and why the Christian change to other man made prayers?
3. The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:5-15; Luke 11:1-13) -
“When you pray, do not be like those who only pretend to be holy. They love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners. They want to be seen by others. What I’m about to tell you is true. They have received their complete reward.
“When you pray, go into your room. Close the door and pray to your Father, who can’t be seen. He will reward you. Your Father sees what is done secretly.” -
Lesson
Main Point: God wants us to spend time with Him in prayer.
Key Verse:
Jesus often went away to be by Himself and pray. - Luke 5:16
Props: Optional: A prayer bracelet
Background/Review
Say: Jesus had come to earth to bring the kingdom of God to men. Jesus made it clear that things in the kingdom were very, very different than things in the world. In the kingdom of heaven, people who have nothing to offer God are accepted. Those who are meek and peace loving, and those who want what is right will finally have what they long for because Jesus came to conquer sin and death.
As Jesus taught on the mountainside, many people gathered to hear Him. Jesus taught that those who follow Him should never do good things just to call attention to themselves. The good things they do should be done in secret - just between them and God. God sees what we do in secret, and He will reward those things (Matthew 6:4).
