Our father

RESUMEN: The Lord's Prayer teaches us to address God as our loving and merciful Father, which may have been surprising for the disciples who were used to a distant and stern God. We should approach God confidently and with trust, as He desires to bless and help us as His children.

The Lord's Prayer is the model prayer that the Lord Jesus Christ provided to his disciples in response to their request to teach them to pray. Its form, order and content shows us what the elements and attitudes that characterize any appropriate sentence should be.

The Lord begins his prayer by saying: "Our Father." This way of addressing God must have been surprising and unusual for the disciples. Rather, the Jewish religion featured a stern, distant, and unapproachably holy God. A Pharisee would never have thought of referring to God as "Father."
