This week we look at the Lord's Prayer in the context of Matthew 6:5-15. Jesus continues to cast aside any possibility of 'seeming' to be anything, or 'trying' to be anything. He casts his eyes upward to the Life of our Father to begin to understand what it means to be a Child of Heaven. Jesus’ words emphasise a reality where we are to ‘be’ rather than seem. This strikes right at the heart of Gospel… it’s more than a command or something we're to try to do, but an invitation to rest in the very ‘be-ing’ of God — a Being that is fullness, freedom, Life itself.
