“The first word of the Lord’s Prayer is Our. That’s important. The prayer Jesus taught us is a prayer of community and reconciliation, belonging to a new kind of people who have left the land of “me.” This new humanity is an exodus people who have who have entered a promised land of “we,” to whom “I” and “mine” and “my” are things of the past . . . . “Your kingdom come” is always a reminder that we do not possess the kingdom as our own. We have been invited to become living members of Christ’s body. But the body still belongs to Christ.”
