Christ as Man: A Study in Lukeサンプル

What does it say? Jesus taught His disciples to pray and used two parables to instruct them about prayer. He condemned the hypocrisy and teachings of the Pharisees and scribes. What does it mean? Jesus modeled a prayer that was simple yet profound. Its pattern showed the importance of first worshiping the Father (because He is holy) and then praying according to God’s will. Asking for daily provisions, confessing sin to maintain fellowship with the Father, and depending upon God to live righteously are God-honoring petitions. Jesus taught that God answers persistent prayer; therefore, He encouraged His followers to ask, seek, and knock, promising that the Father would respond by giving only what is best to His children. How should I respond? We have the privilege as Christ’s followers to intimately commune with our heavenly Father through prayer. By praising His name and honoring His will, we are glorifying God and preparing ourselves to make requests that properly align with His divine plan. As you pray persistently in accordance with His will, your requests will be answered and His name glorified. Prayer will enable you to yield to His purposes, and, as a result, you will experience God’s goodness. How willing are you to discipline yourself to depend daily upon God and allow Him to accomplish His will through you?
