1 | Praying to Jesus in Jesus' name? | NT general | Nextman | 222018 | ||
when I pray I like to pray in Jesus' name. That gives me the right, the authority and courage to pray to the eternal God. I also like to pray personally to Jesus, since he is my saviour, and mediator to God. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" But does it make sense to pray to Jesus in Jesus' name? So that i would pray to my mediator by the authority he had given to me? In my earthly life i certainly would be surprised, if someone would ask something from me, and in my name. I would smile on that. |

2 | Praying to Jesus in Jesus' name? | NT general | CDBJ | 222019 | ||
Greetings Nextman and welcome to the forum. We are only to pray to the Father as Jesus commanded in the model prayer. Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. So in essence we pray to the Father in the power of the Holy Spirit and in the name of the Son. I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |

Only? Are you sure? That is quite an incredible and new point of view to me. The model prayer is of course the best prayer and an example for all time, but i'm not sure it is supposed to contain all possible forms of prayer. I also found 2 verses, where it seems to me that there is prayer to Jesus. "He who testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly: Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." Rev 22:20 "And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;" 1 Ti 1:12 Also whenever i read the Bible, I thought that the form of reference to God, as 'LORD' meant Jesus Christ. And there are a lot of prayers to the 'Lord' in the Bible. |

Nextman, I am very fond of John Piper's answer to this question. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v(equals)VMp5DFsuOTs Make sure you convert the (equals) to an actual equal sign, the forum won't accept that simbol. In Christ, Beja |
