Bible Question: I've been studying the Lords prayer , intently, for 13 years and I'm finally up to "lead us not into temptation", help me with "lead us not". |
Bible Answer: Good evening, thaylon :: Thanks for submitting your question to Study Bible Forum and welcome to the web site. ...... Your question asks for help with the phrase "lead us not into temptation" from Matthew 6:13 (See the parallel passage in Luke 11:4 and also compare Luke 22:40). John MacArthur's exegesis of this passage is succinct, clear, and uncluttered by technical jargon -- three points distinctly in its favor -- so I am going to quote it for you here in the belief that it has the potential to amplify the meaning and intent of these words from this beautiful prayer that our Lord taught to His disciples. ...... "God does not tempt men (James 1:13), but He will subject them to trials that may expose them to Satan's assaults, as in the case of Job and Peter (Luke 27:31,32). This petition reflects the believing one's desire to avoid the dangers of sin altogether. God knows what one's need is before one asks (Matthew 6:8), and He promises that no one will be subjected to testing beyond what can be endured. He also promises a way of escape, often through endurance (1 Cor. 10:13). But still the proper attitude for the believer is the one expressed in this petition." (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing). ..... I hope this is of some benefit to you and that you will remain an active user of Study Bible Forum. --Hank |
