The Lord's Prayer - 2

Thy kingdom come
thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven

“...your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10 NIV).

   Jesus is a King.  He revealed this as is recorded in John 18:36-37.  He said His kingdom is not of this world, yet He desires that it merge and transform this world.  God desires transformation!  He is never satisfied with things being in a state of continued sin.
   Doing the Father’s will is mandatory for the person who is within His kingdom, a child of the Father, as Jesus teaches in Matthew 7:21.  With this teaching He is not negating mercy and grace, rather we need to receive His mercy and grace to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit to be enabled to do the will of God.
