The Most Jewish Prayer? Rediscovering the Avinu (Lord’s Prayer) Sermon on the Mount #20
What if the “Lord’s Prayer” isn’t foreign to Judaism—but deeply rooted in it? In this message, we explore the Avinu Shebashamayim (“Our Father in Heaven”) as the centerpiece of Yeshua’s Sermon on the Mount. By tracing its structure and themes, we discover how this short prayer reflects the heart of Jewish prayer—echoing the Siddur, the Kaddish, and the Amidah. Far from being a new or separate prayer, the Avinu gathers together the language, hopes, and rhythms of Israel’s tefilah—and invites us to pray them with renewed focus and trust.
