Matthew 6:10
Thy kingdom come. The Messiah's kingdom had not yet come, but
was proclaimed by the Lord as at hand. It did speedily come, but in its
fullness, and in its final triumph over evil, it has not yet come. For
this coming we may now pray, and the prayer is answered in part by each
success of the gospel.
Thy will be done in earth, as [it is] in heaven. None can pray
thus who have not merged their own wills into the divine will. He, in
effect, prays the prayer of Gethsemane, "Not my will, but thine, be
done" (Luke 22:42). It is mockery for disobedient lips to utter such
a prayer.
