The Lord's Prayer In A Pandemic

[center]The Lord's Prayer In A Pandemic[/center]
Jim Wallis [emoji1376]
The Lord’s Prayer, which Jesus told his disciples to regularly
pray, is the most common prayer offered in our churches today.
We recognize these words when we hear them in our houses of
worship and pray them in our own households, with our families,
and privately in our hearts. Many of our traditions include The
Lord’s Prayer each Sunday, and it is likely being repeated more
and more often during the COVID-19 pandemic, even as
congregations meet virtually.
As President Trump has said he’d like to see “packed churches
all over our country” on Easter Sunday to help him reopen the
country and restart the economy, which he apparently thinks will
help him get re-elected, we need the words of the Lord’s Prayer
more than ever. The call to reopen comes despite the exact
opposite instructions from health care professionals, along with
governors and mayors across our nation, to maintain our social
distance and closures until the dangers of this

/>modern plague are past us. Trump’s reckless invitation to take
our worship and prayers back into our churches before it is safe
to do so is not only monstrous political irresponsibility, but
religious sacrilege.
I predict that legions of pastors, priests, and lay church
leaders will ultimately ignore 🦀 Trump’s alarming
advice, instead continuing to take their faith and worship
virtual for the sake of healing the nation. Sojourners supports
you in publicly saying “no” to Trump’s dangerous call — we've
been collecting resources and guides to help you and your
congregations gather safely. And we’ll be offering more
opportunities to reach out to each other and speak out against
reckless leadership in the coming days.

Luke 24 King James Version (KJV)
1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning,
they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had
prepared, and certain others with them.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout,
behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the
earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the
dead?
6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you
when he was yet in Galilee,
7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of
sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
8 And they remembered his words,
9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things
unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
10 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of
James, and other women that were with them, which told these
things unto the apostles.
11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they
believed them not.
12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping
down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and
departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village
called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore
furlongs.
14 And they talked together of all these things which had
happened.
15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and
reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are
these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said
unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not
known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him,
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed
and word before God and all the people:
20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be
condemned to death, and have crucified him.
21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed
Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these
things were done.
22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us
astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that
they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was
alive.
24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre,
and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw
not.
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe
all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter
into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded
unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and
he made as though he would have gone further.
29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is
toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to
tarry with them.
30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took
bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he
vanished out of their sight.
32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within
us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to
us the scriptures?
33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem,
and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with
them,
34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he
was known of them in breaking of bread.
36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of
them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that
they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do
thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me,
and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me
have.
40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his
feet.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he
said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an
honeycomb.
43 And he took it, and did eat before them.

44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto
you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be
fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the
prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might
understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them,[size=14pt] Thus it is written, and thus
it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the
third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached
in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
John 21 King James Version (KJV)
1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples
at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus,
and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and
two other of his disciples.
3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto
him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a
ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore:
but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They
answered him, No.
6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the
ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were
not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It
is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he
girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did
cast himself into the sea.
8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were
not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging
the net with fishes.
9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of
coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now
caught.
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great
fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were
so many, yet was not the net broken.
12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the
disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the
Lord.
13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and
fish likewise.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his
disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon,
son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him,
Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him,
Feed my lambs.
16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that
I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest
thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third
time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest
all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him,
Feed my sheep.
18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou
girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when
thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and
another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest
not.
19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify
God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
Acts 1 King James Version (KJV)
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that
Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through
the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he
had chosen:
3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many
infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking
of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that
they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise
of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized
with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him,
saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom
to Israel?
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or
the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come
upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem,
and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part
of the earth.
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was
taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up,
behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up
into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into
heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into
heaven.[/size]

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference:
0:00 - Introduction
1. 0:23 {Will 🐍 Psychopaths be Judged the Same?} It has
recently been scientifically proven that many psychopaths have a
physical brain alteration that doesn't allow their synapses to
receive the neuron chemicals for emotions such as sympathy.
Oftentimes, they become violent criminals or even murderers.
Will they be judged by God the same as any other person, even
though they have something physiologically wrong with them?
2. 8:03 {What do Miracles/Healing Depend On?} If one were to
pray over someone for a miracle or for healing, what would the
chances of it working depend on? Jesus said that it depends on
faith. Does it also depend on being a relatively righteous
person?
3. 15:07 {About Glorified Bodies/Resurrection} If our bodies are
glorified at the rapture, what happens to those people who are
saved post-rapture? Is there a second resurrection?
4. 17:19 {About the Moral Argument} My brother has a very
biblical worldview despite being an agnostic (in terms of
homosexuality and celibacy, etc.) based on science. How do I
prove that morality comes from God?
5. 26:41 {Is Everyone Claiming to be Saved Really Saved?} Paul
Washer said that Matthew 7: 13-14 is not about Christians and
non-Christians, but rather, real Christians and Christians who
think they’re saved. He says many who think they are saved
aren’t really saved. Thoughts?
6. 32:26 {About Giving Everything for the Lord} If salvation is
a free gift and not by works, then why does Jesus say those of
you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my
disciples? How do we know when we have given up everything?
7. 38:53 {Honesty vs. Kindness?} Where do you draw the line
between honest communication about things that bother you about
something someone does, and “dying to self” if the person is a
very close friend/loved one/spouse?
8. 44:09 {About Demons and The Nephilim} Are demons the spirits
of dead Nephilim? Genesis 6 explains that the Nephilim are the
offspring of women and angels. Demons never materialize, but we
know angels can. Luke 22:3 is not convincing to me.
9. 48:04 {Can We Love Truth More than God?} Can I be a
truth-seeker and a good Christian? Is it possible to love the
truth more than God, considering that Jesus is the truth?
10. 55:35 {About the Sun Standing Still – Josh. 10} What do you
think really happened during "the long day" in Joshua 10 during
the battle between Israel and the armies of the 5 kings when
"the sun stood still, and the moon stopped"?
11. 58:20 {About the OT Law & Sacrifices vs. Faith} Why was the
old covenant law set up to require animal sacrifice, since we
see Abraham was atoned for by his faith in the promise to come
of what was Jesus (dimly perceived)?
12. 1:03:22 {Bethel Worship Music?} Can I keep listening to
Bethel’s music, given the intent (as far as I understand) to
invoke emotional responses? I want to avoid the idol of
“emotional highs,” but I still see value in their music.
13. 1:07:03 {About the 153 Fish in John} In John 21, it is
written that Peter caught 153 "large fish" and that "although
there were so many, the net was not torn." Is there a message or
theme John was conveying here?
14. 1:12:01 {Leaving a Church the Biblical Way} How do I go
about leaving my church? Do I talk to my leaders? Do I have to
explain why? What do I need to do to make sure that I do it the
right way?
15. 1:16:28 {About the Dead Jesus Raised} Where did all the
people that Jesus and the disciples raised from the dead go
while they were dead? I would hate to think they were in
Paradise somewhere, then had to come back.
16. 1:19:05 {About Asking for Forgiveness/Mark of the Beast} A
popular internet ministry says Jesus never said we need to ask
for forgiveness and the Bible doesn’t mention it. Is that true?
They also say it’s impossible for a Christian to take mark of
the beast. Is that true?
17. 1:24:00 {Why Keep the L.E. of Mark in the Bible?} If the
longer ending of Mark isn't original, nor written by Mark, how
is keeping it in the Bible not diluting the Word of God and
cheapening the meaning of "Scripture"?
18. 1:26:09 {Help During Trying Times of Doubt} Why can’t I
trust Christ for complete forgiveness even though I fully
believe every word in the Bible? Why won’t my heart allow me to
enter salvation? Why doesn’t God seem to want to help me?
19. 1:31:35 {Jesus’ Deity & His Title of “Son of God”} If Jesus
is God, then why do Paul and the Gospels often speak of them
separately? What is the significant about the phrase "Son of
God" being used for Jesus, since it is used for others, too?
20. 1:35:13 {“Hearing” God in Prayer/His Guidance in Life} When
we pray, how do we "hear" God's reply? How can someone
differentiate between hearing the voice of God and hearing their
own thoughts? When I pray, I feel like it's just me. How can I
make decisions if I don't know what God wants of me?
