Students’ Prayer

Students’ Prayer

Jeffrey Gibson has emphasized that the Lord's Prayer ought to be called the disciples' prayer. And I discussed recently in my Sunday school class the suggestion (inspired by his interpretation of the prayer) that the final/penultimate petition traditionally rendered as โ€œlead us not into temptationโ€ could in fact mean โ€œDo not lead us into the time of testing.โ€ And is struck me that the latter rendering makes the prayer especially relevant to students โ€“ which of course is what โ€œdisciplesโ€ are.
