Who: Lead Us Not Into Temptation

I In Matthew 6: 9-13 is a prayer of 66 words. These 66 words include the above CAPITALIZED words in my title for this Post. But a coincidence I point out to Bible study candidates is that Old & New Testaments comprise 66 BOOKS. One may juxtapose 66 words in the LORDS PRAYER with 66 books that make up the popular Protestant bible II God will never lead us to temptation s. This should help every Christ follower. We allow temptations because of our human or fleshly lusts. Satan capitalizes on our imperfect motives. God Creator or Jesus knows us, what clay vessels we are, but He says through Paul we are His valuable master pieces, too. In 2 Corinthians 4, we read: we have tHis (this and HIS) TREASURE in earthen vessels ..." But on the LORDS Prayer, we need to say just a bit on the TWO versions, the more famous is Matthew 6: and verses 9-13. The other is Luke 11. III. "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples." This is the first verse in Luke 11, which permitted Jesus to gift all of us - but the 12 Disciples first - with the illustrious LORDS Prayer. No apostrophe. Jesus did pray. More than anyone ever, though He communed with Father God, not asking for food or "help Me learn forgiveness as I've been forgiven my sins." But we do. Still, it is Our LORDS PRAYER to help us own some of our birthright: the disciple asked, referred to John teaching his disciples. Why is this in the Bible? Learn, sir or Madame, there are no insignificant word or jots and tittle in the bible. I'll explain this tomorrow, LORD WILLING. But if U are a berwan bible study person, see Matthew chapter 14, fir fact that Jesus prayed at least 9 hours straight, after feeding thousands with a single boys lunch. Till we meet in the lord's graces. Tomorrow, SHALOM shalom
