I
wonder how we see the relationship between earth and heaven?
I
wonder how God sees the relationship between earth and heaven?
What
did Jesus mean when He taught His disciples to pray,
"Thy
will be done in earth, as it is in heaven"? (Mat. 6.10)
Was
it principally about the restoring of the right relation between earth and
heaven?
I
think it was -
whatever
it means for us as individuals and our own particular circumstances,
and whatever it means for a church, or a nation,
these are only parts of a greater whole.
Creation
groans, the universe groans, for something which has been broken.
And
this will never be restored until the Kingdom of God comes in earth as in
heaven.
The
prayer is for the manifestation of the glory of God; that once again the earth
be "filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters
cover the sea." (Hab. 2.14)
Someone
once said that he would wish, even just
once before he died, to pray the Lord's prayer as it really is.
I
see what he meant ... to be able to understand and add his voice to that
prayer.
For beyond the wrong and the hurt,
is the yearning for the rightness,
the completion, the restoration.
It is the bringing again of all which has been lost.
it is the glory of a creation - where all is made new,
and imperfections never enter more.
This
is what God sets before us also:
to feel within ourselves the weight of the hurt of the wrong of this
world which surrounds us,
and to bear this weight, with Him,
until the glory comes and fills this empty hurting space.
until the glory comes and fills this empty hurting space.
Amen!!!
ReplyDeleteI was so delighted to meet PRIEST AZIBA after a long time looking for help in order to fix the ups and downs with my boyfriend. We lived together for two years without any problems until this year when he started seeing another girl, When I tried talking to him, he decided to leave me for her which made me so heart broken after all we have been through together, he even stopped picking up my calls and also blocked me from calling him. I love him dearly and couldn't accept losing him that's why I decided to seek help from PRIEST AZIBA through his WhatsApp number +2348100368288, he helped me quickly in one day and as I speak my boyfriend is back to me with lots of love and respect like never before. Am expecting more good things to happen in our relationship.

I, too, often think about this prayer and what it means. When I realize that it was directed toward His disciples and not to anyone else, not to the world at large, nor refer to a future event, it immediately takes on a personal meaning for me. This prayer can ONLY be prayed by those who wish to follow Jesus completely, because in fact, no one else wants or is able to do the will of God on the earth except those who have the Spirit of God in them. In heaven, everyone (and every Being) is doing the will of the Father and that is the distinguishing factor that separates heaven from everywhere else. (We know that God's will is not being done on the earth for the most part, and certainly is not being done in hell.) As one of Christ's disciples, when we pray "God's Will be done on earth," we immediately put ourselves in a position to actually do the will of God on the earth, and we will soon find ourselves having different life goals, different priorities, and different lifestyles that we did before we prayed this prayer, and will also distinguish ourselves from those in the world who don't pray this prayer. With Jesus backing up this prayer to the Father with the power of His Name, together with our will to do His will, we cannot fail to fulfill what Jesus had in mind when he taught His disciples to pray this powerful prayer to the Father.
