The Lord's Prayer

Matthew 6:9-13 The verses that bring us what is known as The Lord’s Prayer. Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name ........ Most Christians can quote it, but it is not a prayer. • This is an Old Testament scripture of a prayer outline. (The bullet-points of prayer) Yes, Old Testament. Jesus lived as an Old Testament Prophet, Priest and King. The New Testament does not begin until Matthew chapter 28:16-20. Not until Jesus has been crucified, buried and raised to life. Check out the other three Gospels too. That is when the New Testament (Covenant) had been established with the blood of Jesus.

Rich Men and their Camels

When Jesus said: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." (Mark 10:25) His disciples were worried about themselves, but there was no need to worry. Most rich men in those days had many camels, and they all knew that the "eye of the needle" was the pedestrian gate into the city. The problem Jesus was explaining, was not that a person has riches, but that riches have the person.
