The Last Petition
Matthew 6:13
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For your is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.


It stands last because all previous petitions are summed up in it.

I. EVIL IS AROUND AND WITHIN US.

II. Evil has a central unity — "the evil."

III. WHO delivers. God delivers in Christ.

IV. The promise involved in the petition. In the resurrection delivered from evil.
