What is the true meaning of the Lord’s prayer?


Do you know what the true meaning 
of the Lord’s prayer is?


The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father in heaven
Hallowed be Your name
Your kingdom come
Your Will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our debts
As we forgive our debtors
And do not lead us into temptation
But deliver us from the evil one
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and glory forever. Amen.


If one does not follow through with their prayer in action, one is a liar to God. 
He listens to our prayers only if we act as well.

What is the true meaning of  <Give us this day our daily bread>?

■  Give us this day our daily bread

  • Main reference: Mt 6:11, Jn 4:34

In the time of Moses, until they entered into Canaan, produced their own crop, and settled in the land, God gave the people of Israel manna from heaven every morning (Ex 16:14-36). Jesus said, however, that although the forefathers ate the manna that Moses gave, they died; but that he gives the food that does not spoil, that endures to eternal life. He said that this food was the living bread from heaven, his flesh and blood (Jn 6). Jesus himself is also the ‘Word’ as seen in 1 John 1.

The true daily bread that Jesus gives is the revealed word of the New Testament. This revelation was sealed in God’s right hand in Revelation 5, but Jesus opened it starting in Revelation 6, and thus, gave it as ‘the manna from heaven’, as the real food that endures to eternal life. The one who overcomes (i.e. the New John) in Revelation 10 is the only one through whom we can receive this (revelation).


Jn 4:34
Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work."
