The Lord’s Prayer fulfilled

The Lord’s prayer is not a new covenant prayer for the new creation. This is simply because it’s an answered and fulfilled prayer after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The disciples of Jesus wanted to Him teach them how to pray just like John did for his disciples. This prayer is a fulfilled prayer because :

1. Our Father is currently living in us and not only in heaven. Jesus and the father have come to make their home in us.

2. His kingdom has already come and it’s in us. It’s called the New Covenant. God’s kingdom is within us.

3. His will has been done on earth as it is in heaven. His will was for Jesus to die and establish the new covenant in His blood and abolish the old covenant . He has taken away the old and established the new.

4. God has given us our daily bread, Jesus Christ (the bread of life) who was broken for us on the cross. The true manner has been given to us.

5. God in Christ has forgiven us all our trespasses not because we forgave those who trespassed against us but because Jesus shed His blood for the eternal remission of our sins.

6. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever is “To us is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever. This is because God has shared His kingdom, power and glory with His sons and daughters forever.

You can still choose to pray this prayer but just know that it has been fulfilled by the cross.
