The Lord’s Prayer (for His Disciples)

​The Lord’s Prayer (for His Disciples)

Matthew 6:9–15 (NLT)

(Jesus said to His disciples,) “Pray like this: 

Our Father (Who are) in heaven, 

may Your name be kept holy (hallowed be Your name). 

May Your Kingdom come …soon. 

May Your will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. 

Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, 

…as we have forgiven those, who sin against us. 

And don’t let us yield to temptation, 

…but rescue us from the evil one. 

(…and Jesus told us) 

If you forgive those who sin against you, 

your heavenly Father will forgive you. 

But if you refuse to forgive others, 

your Father will not forgive your sins…”

1 Chronicles 29:11–15 (NLT)

(We learn how to complete our prayers to the Lord, our God)…

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is Yours, O Lord, and this is Your kingdom. We adore You as the One who is over all things. 

Wealth and honor come from You alone, for You rule over everything. 

Power and might are in Your hand, and at Your discretion people are made great and given strength. 

(…or humbled and made weak.) 

“O our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious Name… 

(Yahweh - Jehovah)! 

But who am I, and who are my people, 

...that we could give anything to You? 

Everything we have has come from You, 

...and we give You only what You first gave us! 

We are here, for only a moment, 

...visitors and strangers, in the land, 

...as our ancestors, were before us. 

Our days on earth are like a passing shadow, 

...gone so soon without a trace…”

From the Christian Bible… 

God’s Word for God’s people.

Praise be to God!

Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders

​ Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders The Lord said to Moses,  “Gather before Me …seventy men, who are recognized, as elders and leaders of Israel.  Bring them to the Tabernacle, to stand there with you.  I will come down and talk to you there.  I will take some of the Spirit …that is upon you, and I will put this Spirit, upon them.  They will bear the burden, of the people, along with you, so you will not have to carry it alone.  “And say to the people,  ‘Purify yourselves, for tomorrow you will have meat to eat.  You were whining, and the Lord heard you when you cried…  “Oh, for some meat!  We were better off in Egypt!”  Now the Lord will give you meat, and you will have to eat it.  And it won’t be for just a day …or two, or for five, or ten, or even twenty.  You will eat it for a whole month until you gag and are sick of it.  For you have rejected the Lord, Who is here among you, and you have whined to Him, saying,  “Why did we ever leave Egypt?” ’ ”  But Moses responded to the Lord,  “Th

1046 - Israel Celebrates Passover

Israel Celebrates Passover When everything was ready for the Passover celebration, the priests and the Levites took their places, organized by their divisions, as the king had commanded.  The Levites then slaughtered the Passover lambs …and presented the blood to the priests, who sprinkled the blood on the altar, while the Levites prepared the animals.  They divided the burnt offerings, among the people, by their family groups, so they could offer them to the Lord, as prescribed, in the Book of Moses.  They did the same with the cattle.  Then, they roasted the Passover lambs, as prescribed; and they boiled the holy offerings… in pots, kettles, and pans, …and they brought them out quickly, so the people could eat them.  Afterward, the Levites prepared Passover offerings, for themselves and for the priests—the descendants of Aaron—because the priests had been busy, from morning till night, offering the burnt offerings, and the fat portions.  The Levites took responsibility for all these
