Lord's Prayer: The name given to the only form of prayer Christ taught his disciples
(Matthew 6:9-13) The closing doxology of the prayer is omitted by Luke
(Luke 11:2-4) also in the R.V. of
(Matthew 6:13) This prayer contains no
allusion to the atonement of Christ, nor to the offices of the Holy
Spirit. "All Christian prayer is based on the Lord's Prayer, but its
spirit is also guided by that of His prayer in Gethsemane and of the
prayer recorded
(John 17:1)ff The Lord's Prayer is the comprehensive
type of the simplest and most universal prayer."
