Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will forgive you:

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

(Matthew VI)

This, greatest of all prayers, which we commonly call the Lord’s Prayer, is, in fact, a superb summing up of the whole Jesus Christ teaching, in a form unequaled for brevity and completeness. It is really nothing less than a complete outline of Christian metaphysics, and, as the author of this book has already dealt with it at considerable length in a brochure entitled “The Lord’s Prayer,” there is no need to cover the same ground again here.

Suffice it to say that in these few verses it defines the nature of God and of man, and explains the true relationship between them, tells us what the universe really is, and provides a method of rapid spiritual development for those who use it intelligently every day.

Note particularly how strongly Jesus insists upon the need for forgiveness if we are to make any spiritual progress at all.

Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
