The Father’s Guidance & Protection - Lead Us and Deliver Us

Today, we're focusing on the final part of the Lord's Prayer as it's written in Matthew: "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." When we consider temptation, we often picture someone struggling between choosing what is right and wanting to do what is wrong. While this may be part of what Jesus meant, his original audience likely understood this prayer a bit differently. As we explore Jesus' own experiences with temptation—in the wilderness and in the garden—may we gain new insights into what we're truly asking God to help us with.
