About this listen
As we continue in our series on the Lord's Prayer, we arrive at the petition 'give us this day our daily bread.' We here find that the followers of Jesus are taught not only pray for their own personal needs, but for the needs of their community. This prayer does not say ‘give me this day my daily bread,’ but rather 'give us today our daily bread.'
In the Western, individualistic capitalistic mindset – our primary concern is often individual prosperity. We all want to gather to ourselves as much as we can possibly accumulate. In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus is not challenging the right of an individual to have wealth. But he is challenging the heart of the wealthy person who fails to pay attention the needs of those in his community.
