549 中翻英 (249)              Lord's Prayer.                        主禱文.                                         10/12/2023

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name;  thy kingdom come;  thy will be done;  on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.  And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.  And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from the evil one.  For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

我們在天上的父：願人都尊你的名為聖。願你的國降臨；願你的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上。我們日用的飲食，今日賜給我們。免我們的債，如同我們免了人的債。不叫我們遇見試探, 救我脫離兇惡. 因為國度, 權柄, 榮耀全是祢的, 直到永遠.  阿們.

「愿你的國降臨！愿你的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上！」（太   6:10 新國際版）

我們要這樣禱告：「愿你的國度降臨！」假如神的國度能夠自動降臨，祂就不必吩咐我們如此禱告了。但神的子民必須禱告，因為神的工作，是借著神答應祂子民的呼求而成就的。「愿你的旨意成全！」是的，但在哪里成全呢？「在地上！」因為這是今天神的旨意唯一尚未成全的地方。然而神的國度要怎樣才能被帶到地上來呢？是要借著受造者的意志与創造者的旨意聯合一致，將撒但那背逆的意志除掉。因為禱告總是牽涉到三方面，就是：向著神，為著人和反對鬼。在地上我們要借禱告來反對的，就是抵擋神旨意的撒但。可是神不單獨行動去對付那叛逆者。祂等候我們以禱告与祂同工。主當日教導門徒的禱文，不只是我們禱告的標本，更是神心意的啟示。

"Your kingdom come! Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven!" (Matthew 6:10 NIV)

We should pray like this: "Thy kingdom come!" If God's kingdom could come of its own accord, He wouldn't have to tell us to pray like this. But God’s people must pray, because God’s work is accomplished by God answering the calls of His people. “Thy will be done!” Yes, but where? “On earth!” Because this is the only place where God’s will has not yet been fulfilled today. But how can the kingdom of God be brought to earth? It is to get rid of Satan's rebellious will through the will of the creature and the will of the Creator. Because prayer always involves three aspects: toward God, for people and against demons. What we must oppose on earth through prayer is Satan who resists God’s will. But God does not act alone to deal with the rebel. He waits for us to cooperate with Him in prayer. The prayers that the Lord taught his disciples that day are not only a model for our prayers, but also a revelation of God’s will.
