God's New Family

Just a second.

If you want, you can open up your Bibles to Mark chapter 3.

Mark 3 · chapter mention

We're going to be looking at Mark chapter 3, verses 31 to 35.

Mark 3:31–35

It's on page 997 of your pew Bible.

Let me open up my own Bible.

While you're opening up your Bible, have you ever noticed certain families have definitive

characteristics?

Interests?

Rhythms?

Like, some families have similar physical characteristics.

Does anybody know a family with the family unibrow?

Some families share an interest in politics.

And so in one family, you can have people on, like, total opposite sides of the spectrum,

and yet they're all passionate about politics.

Some families share rhythms together.

They gather once a month for a meal, or they're regularly getting together to celebrate birthdays

and holidays.

I don't think anybody would argue that families are not important.

They are important.

Your family, your biological family is where you should be experiencing deep, meaningful love, right?

Accepted, protected, provided.

You're trained.

Sometimes you're corrected.

You're comforted.

Well, this morning we're going to see Jesus do something radical.

He's going to redefine His family from biological ties to theological ties.

And we're going to see that in Mark 3, 31 through 35.

We're going to see a new family gathered around Jesus in His house.

This morning I want you to behold your king with His family, His new family, His theological family around Him.

Let me get you up to speed.

At the beginning of Mark 3, verses 1 through 6, Jesus heals the man with a withered hand on the Sabbath day.

Mark 3:1–6

Jesus is going to keep poking the Jewish religious establishment because He is the Lord of the Sabbath,

and He will do what He wants on the Sabbath.

And then in Mark 3, 7 through 12, what we start seeing is this massive crowd following Jesus.

And it starts in verse 8, branching.

People are coming from Tyre and Sidon, which means now Gentiles are coming to follow Jesus.

To hear of them, to see what He's doing.

In verses 13 through 21, Jesus appoints His 12 apostles.

But in verse 21, we see that not everybody is enthusiastic about Jesus.

His family thinks that He's out of His mind, and they go to collect Him.

In verses 22 through 36, we have these scribes, the religious professionals,

but they come from Jerusalem, which is kind of like Washington, D.C.,

to send the feds to check out what's going on in your hometown.

And so they send these scribes to see what's going on.

And these scribes from Jerusalem, they accuse Jesus of casting out demons by the prince of demons, by Satan.

And Jesus says, you are blaspheming against the Holy Spirit.

You are attributing to Satan what the Holy Spirit's doing.

That is terribly wrong.

It's unforgivable.

What we do know is that the Holy Spirit gives people new life.

Causes them to be born again.

So what happened is that Jesus, in chapter 3,

Jesus is gathering a following.

And it's becoming kind of more visible.

It's taking on leadership.

But in addition to a following, He's also causing a stirring of opposition.

In fact, some people don't believe who He is.

In Mark 3, 31 through 35, Jesus will need to decide between His theological family and His biological family.

Have you ever been in that position before?

Where you feel like you need to decide between the unbelieving blood relatives in your family

and then the believing non-relatives of your church?

Have you ever felt like you've been in that position?

I have.

Not an easy place to be.

So let me read Mark 3, 31 through 35.

And His mother, Jesus' mother, and His brothers,

He had brothers,

came and standing outside, they sent to Him and called Him.

They were standing outside and calling for Jesus.

And a crowd was sitting around Him.

And they said to Him,

Your mother and your brothers are outside seeking you.

And Jesus answered them,

Who are my mother and my brothers?

And looking about at those who sat around Him,

He said,

Here, here are my mother and my brothers.

For whoever does the will of God,

he is my brother and sister and mother.

May God bless the hearing of His word.

I want you to behold three groups of people in this passage.

Group number one, verse 31.

Behold the people standing outside.

Notice who they are.

Verse 31, His mother.

Mary.

This is the woman that miraculously conceived Jesus in her womb by the Holy Spirit.

Mary gave birth to Him.

And raised Him.

She would see Him crucified.

And she would be one of the first eyewitnesses of His resurrection.

That Mary.

And His brothers are there too.

And you might be like,

What?

Jesus had brothers?

He had brothers.

And sisters.

Flip in your Bible in Mark,

to Mark chapter 6,

Mark 6:3

verse 3,

2 and 3.

Jesus is back in His hometown, Nazareth.

And a prophet is not welcome in His hometown.

And so He's in the synagogue,

preaching on a Sabbath.

And the people who heard Him are astonished.

And they're saying,

What did this...

Wait, where did this man get these things?

What is the wisdom given to Him?

How are such mighty works done by His hand?

Is this not the carpenter,

the son of Mary,

and brother of James,

and Joseph,

and Judas,

and Simon,

four brothers,

and are not His sisters?

Here with us.

At least two sisters.

It's plural.

And they took offense at Him.

Yeah, Jesus.

Jesus had brothers and sisters.

Now you may be like,

Whoa!

What does that mean?

Well, they're half brothers and sisters.

So Mary gave birth to Jesus.

And then,

Mary and Joseph had more children.

And if you were raised in the Catholic faith,

what this is pushing against

is the perpetual virginity of Mary.

It's not so.

Not according to the Gospel of Mark.

Jesus had brothers and sisters.

Half brothers and sisters.

Which brings about humanity to Jesus.

It's kind of like,

Whoa!

Could you imagine being raised in a household

with Jesus as your brother?

Like, trying to get on His nerves

would be impossible.

But that's not the point.

Here's the point.

These people standing outside

of Jesus' house,

because this is Jesus' house that He's at,

they're His blood relatives.

And typically,

your blood relatives are in your house with you.

But they're outside.

I mean,

these are the people that He's shared a lot of life with,

a lot of history with,

but they are outside.

That's where they are.

Not inside with Jesus.

Outside,

apart from Jesus.

So who?

Blood relatives.

Where?

Outside.

Notice what they're doing.

They're standing.

You might be like,

Okay,

that's fine.

They're standing.

But what's going on here in this passage

is a contrast.

And this is going to be contrasted to sitting.

The opposite of standing is sitting.

And what we're about to see in a minute

is that sitting is the humble posture of a disciple.

So,

we have blood relatives on the outside

standing apart from Jesus.

And why are they there?

Why has His mother and His brothers come?

Well,

would you look up to chapter 3,

verse 20 and 21.

And Jesus went home to His house in Capernaum.

This is where He healed the paralytic.

And the crowd gathered again

so that they could not even eat.

And when His family heard it,

they went out to seize Him,

for they were saying,

He's out of His mind.

His mother and His brothers aren't there

to follow Him

and to sit at His feet.

His mother and His brothers are there

to bring Him home.

Hey, Jesus.

You've gone a little too far.

It's time to come home.

They're not there

to do God's will.

Now,

you may be thinking,

whoa,

hold on a second.

Mary's there?

Doing that?

How do you explain that?

Well,

it would be the same way

I would explain

John the Baptist

sending some of his disciples

to Jesus

and asking Jesus,

are you the Christ?

I think this is a moment

of wavering

in Mary.

And we can all relate

with that.

So,

who?

Blood relatives of Jesus.

Where?

Outside?

What are they doing?

They're standing.

Why are they there?

They're there to take Jesus away,

not to follow Him.

Does anyone in the room

have non-Christian

family members

who think that you

are out of your mind

because you believe

that Jesus is alive

and you're following Him?

I do.

I have relatives

who think I'm really crazy.

You're in good company.

Your King

knows exactly

how you feel.

He knows the heartache.

So,

behold the people

standing outside.

Jesus'

biological family.

Now,

let's behold the people

sitting inside.

32.

And a crowd was sitting

around Him

and they said,

your mother and your brothers

are outside seeking you.

So,

here's another group of people

in this passage

and it's in contrast

to the people,

the biological family

of Jesus.

Who are they?

Well,

it's a crowd.

It's unnamed.

It's unnumbered.

But they're in Jesus' house.

They're inside

with Jesus.

Jesus.

Now,

I kind of want to know

who these people are.

But I think

it's safe to say

we do some hypothesizing.

Jesus has just

appointed His 12 apostles.

So,

I think it's pretty safe

to say that the 12 apostles

are in the house

with Him.

And if you actually

look back

at Mark chapter 3,

Mark 3 · chapter mention

starting in

verses

16 through 19,

you have the naming

of the 12 apostles.

There are two names.

I just want to draw

your attention to.

First,

is the name

in verse 18,

Matthew.

Do you know who Matthew was?

A.K.A. Levi?

Chapter 2, verse 14,

Jesus calls him

to follow Him.

Do you know what He did

for a living?

He was a tax collector.

You might think,

well, that's kind of like IRS.

It's worse.

What He did was this.

Matthew was Jewish

and he was hired

by the Roman occupiers

to collect a tax

from His fellow Jews

in order to pay

the Romans.

And He would make

He would make

a lot of jingle

off that.

And so,

He would have been

perceived

by His fellow Jews

as a traitor.

Here's what makes

this interesting.

It's the last name

in verse 18.

Simon the Zealot.

Do you know

what Zealots did?

Zealots passionately

hated the Roman occupiers.

So do you know

what this means?

In Jesus' 12 apostles,

we have a guy

that's seen

as a Jewish traitor

and we have a guy

who hated Roman occupiers.

How about that?

Having dinner

with those guys together.

Two ends

of the political spectrum.

This was a diverse crowd.

Who else?

I'm guessing

there were women,

Mary Magdalene,

Salome,

maybe people from

Tyre and Sidon,

some Gentiles there.

We had country folk there.

We had city folk there.

It's a diverse crowd.

I think this is

the sample congregation

of Daniel chapter 7

Daniel 7:13

verses 13 and 14

where the Ancient of Days

gives the Son of Man

an everlasting

and indestructible kingdom

of people

from every nation,

every tongue.

I think this is

a sample of that.

It's an unusual

assembly of people

and you can believe it.

They had a variety

of different backgrounds

and you can bet

a variety of different baggage.

Did you notice

where they are?

Not outside

apart from Jesus.

They are inside

with Jesus.

At one point

they would have been

outside from Jesus

but now they're

inside with Jesus.

Did you notice

what they're doing?

They're sitting.

They're sitting

around Jesus.

They are interacting

with Jesus.

Hey Jesus,

do you know your mom

and your brothers

are outside?

There's relationship

there.

There's this contrast

between the outside people

and the inside people.

Why are they there?

Why is this crowd

sitting at Jesus' feet?

It's the same reason

Mary in Luke 10.37

sat at Jesus' feet.

She chose the better way.

She was learning

from Jesus.

I mean,

he was the greatest

teacher,

rabbi ever.

So they're sitting

at his feet

which is this

humble posture

of a disciple,

a learner.

He's the rabbi.

They're the learners.

They're saying

give us more.

Teach us.

So behold the crowd.

Unrelated to Jesus

but inside his house

sitting around him

and at his feet

learning from him.

So do you all

see the contrast?

Verse 31,

Jesus' blood family

outside.

Verse 32,

this crowd

sitting inside

at his feet.

Who will Jesus choose?

His family's there,

biological families.

Hey, Jesus,

come with us.

Who's he going to choose?

The third group of people

I want you to see,

well,

it's not a group.

It's your king.

Behold your king.

In verses 30 through 35,

who will he decide

between his biological family

or this crowd

sitting around him?

Let's not forget

who this is.

In chapter 1,

we learn that

Jesus is the son of God.

That God the Father

himself said so.

Remember at the baptism

of Jesus,

the heavens open up,

the spirit descends,

and then there's this voice.

This is my beloved son

with whom I'm well pleased.

That's God the Father,

the ancient of days,

saying of Jesus,

you're my son

and I delight in you.

What that means

is that Jesus,

the son of God,

is totally God

and totally man.

That's who is

in the house here.

but it's not just

the son of God.

Chapter 2,

we learn that he's

the son of man.

A king

with whom the ancient of days,

God the Father,

would give an eternal

and indestructible kingdom

made up of peoples

and nations

and languages.

A diverse crowd,

if you will.

It's this Jesus,

the son of God

and the son of man

who has been put

into a position

of having to decide

between those outside

and those inside.

And so what do you think

he's going to do?

He's going to teach.

Jesus, remember,

is a rabbi.

He's a teacher.

And he sees

the teaching moment

and takes it.

And so what we're

about to see him do

is classic rabbinical

teaching technique.

He's going to ask

a question

then answer it.

So the question

is in verse 33.

Remember what's happened.

His blood,

his biological family

is outside.

Hey, where's Jesus?

His crowd on the inside

and around him

saying,

Jesus, hey,

your mother

and your brothers,

they're outside.

They want you to come.

And then to which

Jesus says,

to the people inside,

who are my mother

and my brothers?

Now, if you were there,

you would know,

you would know instinctively

that Jesus is getting

at something bigger

than genetics.

You would know that.

What Jesus is doing

is challenging

the common idea

about family.

The common idea

of being bound

by biological blood

and birth.

He's challenging that.

Anybody hear the expression

blood is thicker than water?

That means family first.

We put an emphasis

on who our birth parents are.

And what Jesus is doing

is he's raising

the possibility

of a different kind of family

with different kinds of bonds

that prioritize it

over a biological family.

That's what Jesus is doing.

So there's the question.

Who are my mothers

and my brothers?

And then in verse 34

and 35,

he gives an answer.

But I think that there's

this like dramatic moment.

In verse 34.

So he asks the question,

who are my mother

and my brothers?

And he says,

and looking about

at those who sat around him,

this is what I think

he's doing right there.

I think he's making eye contact

with everyone

in the house.

Who are my mother

and my brothers?

Pause.

Looking into the eyes

of everybody around him.

And then he says,

with hand motions,

here,

here are my mother,

my brothers,

while making eye contact

with everyone in the house.

Here is my family.

Here are my people.

What he's doing here is,

he's saying,

we're united by a different blood,

a different birth,

for a different purpose.

The different blood,

of course,

is not biological.

It's the blood of Jesus.

A different birth,

of course,

is the birth of the Spirit of God.

Born again.

And the purpose is,

verse 35,

for whoever does the will of God,

he is my brother

and sister and mother.

He's just redefined

who his family is.

Radical.

Not those folks outside.

Not the lady that gave me birth.

Not my brothers.

Y'all.

Blood-bought.

Spirit-born.

Doers of God the Father's will.

You're my family.

The definitive family trait

of the family of God.

Is to do our Father's will.

To do the will of God.

That's the definitive trait

of who we are.

We're blood-bought.

Born of the Spirit.

And our aim is to do the will

of God our Father.

Jesus is saying,

those in my family,

obey my Father.

Because Jesus' Father

is our Father.

Behold your King.

He has just spoken

a definitive word

on what characterizes

his family.

Obedience to the will

of the Father.

Now, I started this sermon

by talking about

different families

sharing different

kind of characteristics.

You know,

the unibrow

and politics.

Some families

are foodie families.

Other families

are musician families.

Some families

are packer families.

Some families

are bear families.

According to Jesus,

the definitive,

non-negotiable

characteristic

of His family

is doing the will

of our Heavenly Father.

Does this sound familiar?

Our Father who art in Heaven.

Hallowed be your name.

Your kingdom come.

Your will be done.

On earth,

in our lives,

as it is in Heaven.

You see,

Jesus has already

decided

who His people are.

Not those outside,

standing.

Those inside,

sitting around Him.

Now, could you imagine

if you were there

and you heard

Jesus say this

and He made eye contact

with you?

You heard Him say that?

Here are my mother

and my brothers

and He's looking at you.

That's exactly the point.

You mean,

you're more committed to me

than your own mom

and brothers?

That's exactly the point.

This is the new family of God.

So this morning, Christian,

as a blood-bought,

spirit-born,

doer of God's Word,

you need to hear

what Jesus is saying to you.

Here are my mother

and my brothers

and my sisters.

You all.

By His grace,

you are part

of His kingdom.

You are part

of His family.

You're beloved.

You're a member.

You have a new father.

God the Father

who loves you dearly.

And you have a new family,

the church.

So now let's bring this to bear.

Just as our King

prioritized

His new family

over His old family,

so must we.

We must prioritize

our church,

our new family in Christ,

blood-bought,

spirit-born,

doers of the Father's will.

Just as He prioritized us,

we prioritize us.

We have

been united

by His blood.

We've been united

by the Spirit's birth.

We've been united

now in a purpose

to do the will

of God our Father.

So the question

now becomes, right,

what does that look like?

How do you go about

prioritizing

the new family of God?

Let me try to apply this

in a couple different ways.

The first way

is to think differently

about one another.

The classic thing

that we do

is when we see each other,

we focus on our

external appearance.

We need to think

biblically about one another.

We need to see each other

fully for who we are

in light of God's Word.

Now let me ask you a question.

Do you think Jesus,

do you think He thought

less of His mother

and His brothers

standing outside?

I don't think so.

He just knew

they weren't inside.

I don't think He thought

less of them,

but He definitely

thought differently

of those inside

sitting around Him.

So this morning,

I want you to hear this.

I'm not calling you

based on God's Word.

I'm not calling you

to think less

of your non-Christian parents,

to think less

of your non-Christian siblings,

to think less

of your non-Christian children.

That's not how we apply this.

To be honest with you,

if you have

non-Christian parents,

there's heartache there.

If you have

non-Christian siblings,

there's heartache there.

If you have

non-Christian children,

there's heartache there.

You spend a lot of time

praying for your

non-Christian children.

It's one of the biggest

burdens you carry.

So we're not to think

less of the non-Christians

of our lives,

or love them less.

That's not the application

of this.

What we do need to do

is prioritize

the family of faith more.

That's the application.

And it begins

with thinking differently

about one another.

And I've already

given you some categories

to be thinking

about each other.

Just imagine this.

Let's say you walk

into the sanctuary

and you bump into

a brother in the Lord

and three things

come through your head.

Oh, blood-bought,

spirit-born,

doer of the will of God.

Whoa, hey!

That'd be cool.

You bump into a sister

at festival.

The categories that

come through your mind

is, man, she is my

blood-bought sister,

spirit-born sister,

and she too is doing

the will of our Father.

You know what's

going to happen?

We will esteem

each other more highly.

We will consider

others better

than ourselves.

We will hold

each other

in higher regard

because we're

seeing each other

as God sees

one another.

We share

the greatest thing

in common.

Any image

bearer

can.

We have been

united by the

triune God

and brought

into His family.

Blood-bought,

spirit-born,

doers of the will

of our Father.

So the first

application is

let's not

focus on

externals

as much

as remembering

who our

brothers and

sisters are

in Christ.

Another way

to prioritize

one anothering

the family

of God,

God,

well,

the picture

is right here

in the passage.

We gather

together.

We come

together.

We see it

right there

in verse 32.

And a crowd

was sitting

around Him.

A diverse

crowd

united together

around Jesus.

Every Sunday

at 10 a.m.,

we're living

out Mark 3.32.

A crowd

gathered around

Jesus.

That's this.

That's who we are.

That's what we're

doing.

It's happening

almost 2,000

years later

when this was

written.

In a very

different place.

But it's

happening.

A crowd

of diverse

people

gathered

together

around Jesus.

Brothers and

sisters,

we gather

together

on a Sunday

morning

because of

Jesus.

Because of

His blood.

Because we've

been born of

the Spirit

to do

God's will.

We gather

to behold

Jesus.

We gather

in order

to live

for Jesus.

The reason

for our

gathering

is Jesus.

Together

following Jesus.

That's who we are.

That's what we do.

And in 3.32,

we see God's

new family

gather together

around Jesus

too.

That becomes

something that

we can now

say, okay,

that's what God

wants for us.

This is His

will for us.

Good things

happen when

God's family

gets together.

God things

happen when

God's family

gets together.

So,

here's how I

want you to

think about

our Sunday

morning

gatherings.

Think of

them as

a family

reunion

once a

week.

Sunday

at 10 a.m.

A family

reunion of

brothers and

sisters in

Christ coming

together around

Jesus to hear

Him speak,

to worship

Him, to sit

at His feet,

to wait for

what comes

next.

You know

what the

question becomes?

The question

becomes this.

how many

Sundays is

enough?

How many

Sundays is

enough to

gather together?

I mean, is

one Sunday a

month enough?

Is two

Sundays enough

for us to

gather?

Would that be

God's will for

us?

I think the

real question

is this.

How important

is it for

God's family

to gather?

That's the

question.

And what we

see throughout

the Bible

is it's

extremely

important.

This is

gathering around

our King,

our Lord,

together.

Let me try

to spell

this out

for you.

I actually

did this

at a wedding

recently

and thought,

man, I want

to do that

on a Sunday

morning.

If you meet

once a month,

gather with

God's family

once a month,

if you prioritize

it at once a

month,

do you know

how many

times a year

you gather

with God's

people?

Twelve.

Do you know

how many times

you gather

with God's

people over

50 years?

600.

Now that

might sound

like a lot,

but over

50 years,

there's a lot

more things

that are going

to be formative

in your life

than the

gathering with

your church.

How about

two times a

month?

24 times a

year?

Over 50

years,

that's 1,200

gatherings over

that span.

Better than

600.

But how

about if

you're aiming

at every

Sunday?

Let's just

say 50

Sundays a

year.

Over 50

years,

that's 2,500

gatherings with

your family

of faith.

Now let me

ask you this

question.

what will

be more

formative?

What will

be more

spiritual

healthy for

you,

for your

biological

family,

and for

your

theologically

family?

What would

be healthier

over that

span?

Of course,

the more

frequent the

better.

Good things

happen.

God things

happen when

God's people

get together.

So here's

what I'm

going to

urge you.

Don't

settle for

minimal.

Aim at

maximum.

Let's aim

high, not

settle for

low.

Let's seek

to gather

together because

we have been

united by the

greatest thing

possible, the

triune God.

We're blood

bought, spirit

born, seeking

to do God's

will together.

Let's aim for

every Sunday

because we're

a family.

want to be

together.

There's a

classic mistake

that Christians

make.

It's thinking

that church is

for me.

I go to

church for

me.

And yes,

in one level

you do.

But do you

also know that

you go to

church for

your family?

For us?

Here's some

obstacles.

Children's

sports have

encroached

upon Sunday

morning.

We all

know it.

Parents,

it's an

opportunity to

train your

kids.

To help

them understand

priorities and

important things.

What's more

important?

Getting to

your kids

games or

getting to

church?

What will

form them

over time?

It's not

if you're

forming your

kids, it's

how you're

forming your

kids.

Maybe you

have a work

issue.

You can't

get to our

Sunday morning

gathering regularly

because of a

work commitment.

Well, maybe you

need to ask your

manager, hey, can I

take Sundays

off so I can

be at church

with my

family of

faith?

And if it's

like, no, maybe

you should be

saying, maybe I

should be looking

for another

job.

It's that

important.

Maybe you're

kind of like,

well, I'll

tell you what,

I've got a

house full of

kids and trying

to get them in

the minivan and

they get to the

church building and

then get them

into places and

then they get

off their

schedule, they

miss their

naps, it is

so inconvenient.

It is.

The question

is, is it

worth it to

gather together

as a family

of faith?

Yes, it is.

And form them

over time.

How about just

a classic

selfishness?

Sunday morning

is me time.

It's my

opportunity to

sleep in.

I only get

one morning a

week to sleep

in.

Sunday morning

is it.

It's the one

time I can

catch up on

doing some

things around

the house.

How about you

move me time

to we time?

We the

church.

Your family's

gathering.

Come gather

with us.

If you would

open up your

Bible to

Hebrews chapter

Hebrews 10:24

10 verse 24

and 25.

It's on page

1194 of your

pew Bible.

We read

this.

And let us

consider how

to stir up

one another

to love

and good

works.

Well, how

do you do

that?

Well, we're

told how not

to do that.

What gets

in the way

of that?

25.

Not neglecting

to meet

together as

the habit

of son.

You see,

not gathering

frequently gets

in the way of

stirring one

another up to

love and good

deeds.

But encouraging

one another

by gathering

together.

together.

And all

the more

as you see

the day

drawing near.

We

prioritize

one another

as God's

family by

gathering

together as

often as

we can.

Good things

happen when

God's people

come together.

Good things

happen.

He forms

us.

Maybe you

are not in

God's family

yet.

But

the first

thing you

need to do

is come

to Jesus.

Repent

and believe

the gospel.

Claim

him as

your Lord

and Savior.

And then

you get

to be

welcomed

into the

family of

the blood

bought.

The family

of the

spirit born.

The family

of those

doing the

Father's

will.

Who love

to gather

together as

often as

we can.

In

conclusion,

Mark 3,

31-35.

we

behold our

king.

And he

is standing

in the

middle of

his new

family.

Jesus has

radically,

radically

redefined his

family.

He doesn't

think of his

family primarily

as a

biological

family.

He's thinking

more about

this group

as his

theological

family.

United

by his

blood.

United by

the birthing

of the spirit.

United by

doing God's

will.

Here

are my

mother

and

brothers

and

sisters.

Amen.

Lord Jesus,

would you

do a

work in

us where

your will

be done.

Would you

add to our

number like

minded brothers

and sisters

who want

to gather

and who

want to

live for

you.

Father,

hallowed be

your name,

your kingdom

come,

your will

be done

on earth

as it is

in heaven.

Amen.

Amen.
