At Emmaus we believe that God has given parents, especially fathers the authority and responsibility to train and instruct children up in the Lord. In addition, we believe that God has ordained the gathering of all generations, young to old, to worship Him together in one place and at one time. Therefore, each and every Sunday our children worship the Lord alongside their parents and other members of God’s family.
Learn MoreEmmaus Reformed Baptist Church is committed to the fullfilment of the Great Commision given by our Lord when he said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:18-20 ESV), through the planting of local churches, both at home and abroad.

I trust that all of you are well on your way to memorizing the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13) as I encouraged you to do last Sunday.
Have you noticed that, traditionally, the Lord’s Prayer is often recited with a longer ending which is not included in some modern Bible Translations (for example, the KJV, NKJV and NASB have it, while the ESV and NIV do not)? The longer ending goes like this: “…For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” (Matthew 6:13, NKJV)
The question is, why do some translations include this ending and others do not? I think the study notes from the NET Bible are helpful here:
“Most [manuscripts] read (though some with slight variation)… “for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, amen”… The reading without this sentence, though, is attested by generally better witnesses (manuscripts). The phrase was probably composed for the liturgy of the early church and most likely was based on 1 Chr 29:11-13; a scribe probably added the phrase at this point in the text for use in public scripture reading (see TCGNT 13-14). Both external and internal evidence argue for the shorter reading.
What does all that mean? Well, it is most likely that the shorter reading – the one without, “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”, is the original. That said, I don’t think there is any harm in memorizing the longer version so long as we remember that the ending is likely from tradition and not from the gospel writer himself.
I hope that your time in prayer has been sweet this week.
Blessings,
Joe
