I really hadn't thought much of it during all those years, but then when I began to better understand the New Covenant, and started paying attention to the words in that prayer, I began to question why we pray that prayer today.<br><br>Also, the understanding that much of what Jesus said was directed to people who were under the Old Covenant, and was not a teaching for Christian believers, has really helped me to understand more of the words that He spoke that used to be confusing to me, since they contradict the message of the New Covenant. Paul's epistles especially help me to see the differences and purposes of each more clearly.Joel Bruesekehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37305950.post-74707365857614854862012-12-23T12:06:46.025-06:002012-12-23T12:06:46.025-06:00I really enjoyed this podcast, I love how you boug...I really enjoyed this podcast, I love how you bought out that the new testament did not come in existence,until after Jesus died and was raised. Time and time again, Jesus referenced the law, but now that Christ has fulfilled the law, we are under no obligation to follow it.<br><br>The whole prayer really got to me, cause I was taught to recite that prayer in service all the time. I am glad by listening to this podcast, God revealed to me how that prayer was also under the law. <br><br>We are under a Covenant, thank God for Grace.<br><br>Merry Christmas to you both, I am anticipating a great new year with brand new episodes!Sarcasm_Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00345754145722230560noreply@blogger.com
