Introduction

Luke 11:1-13 “Teach us to Pray”

  1. The Teacher—“Lord, teach us to pray” (11:1)

● As disciples of Jesus, it makes sense to ask him to teach us to pray.

● Prayer is a theme in Luke and Acts—the disciples learned this lesson and lived it out.

  1. The Example—“Now Jesus was praying in a certain place...” (Lk 3:21; 5:16; 6:12; 9:18; 9:28; 11:1; 22:32; 22:41; 23:34).

  2. The Lesson—“When you pray, say...” (Luke 11:2-13)

● Notice the similarities here in Luke with the prayer in Matthew 6:5-15.

● Q: What are the implications of the fact that these two prayers are similar, yet not exactly the same?

Matthew 6:5-15

  1. Context: Sermon on the Mount

● The Lord’s Prayer is the “distillation” of all Jesus taught about the Kingdom and his reign (N.T. Wright).

● The Lord’s Prayer is the peak of the Sermon on the Mount and helps us orient ourselves to his kingdom (Johnathan T. Pennington).

− “Repent, the Kingdom of Heaven is near” (Mt 4:17).

− Two paths (Mt 7:13)

− “The Way” (Jn 14:6; Acts 9:2; 19:9, 23; 22:4; 24:14, 22)

  1. Immediate Context: Kingdom Motives [Giving, Prayer, Fasting]

● Seen and praised by others (Mt 6:1-2; cf. 23:5-7)

● Heavenly Kingdom—seen and rewarded by God (Mt 6:1, 4)
