Bible Question: Lord Prayer; how do you expalin this to teenagers 13-19 and how important it is? |
Bible Answer: Dear Jenkins, Welcome to the forum! You start when they are very young, and you teach them the gospel. Outside of the gospel the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) makes little sense. Come to that, the entire sermon on the mount doesn't make sense outside of the context of the gospel. You were probably looking for a simple answer. I am sorry to have to tell you that some things don't lend themselves to simple answers. If you only give children simple answers, they grow up to think think that your beliefs are simplistic. The best you can do is to instruct them in sound doctrine. Puritan children, by the age of six, had the whole Shorter Westminster Catechism memorized. We live in an age of simple answers and short sound bites. That proclivity is unfortunate because truth is much more profound. In Him, Doc |
