Matthew 6:12

"Lord, teach us to pray." When the disciples asked Jesus for instruction on how to pray, he responded with a simple prayer that has become beloved all over the world. In this Bible Basics Explained series, Peyton Jones walks us through the Lord’s Prayer and explores the nature of prayer as God intended it: as worship, as surrender and dependence upon God, and as warfare against temptation and evil.

Matteus 6 vorm deel van Jesus se Bergpredikasie en fokus op die innerlike motiewe agter godsdienstige praktyke. In hierdie hoofstuk leer Jesus dat ware geregtigheid nie gaan oor uiterlike vertoon nie, maar oor opregte gehoorsaamheid voor God, selfs (en veral) as niemand kyk nie. Hierdie leesplan van vier dae help jou om Matteus 6 deeglik te verstaan: wat dit beteken om voor God te leef, nie vir die goedkeuring van mense nie; en hoe ware geestelike volwassenheid in die verborge plek gevorm word.
