2:3 The Hidden Meaning of the Lord's Prayer

Has the meaning of the LP been deliberately hidden? Was the author of this text trying to limit the understanding of this prayer only to those who could decipher his secret symbols? My answer to these questions is No. However, the Lord's Prayer is full of hidden meanings. This was a prayer first formulated about 2000 years ago. We hear the words, and we can explain what they mean today. But that doesn’t mean that we’ve discerned what they meant when first spoken. If we want to unlock the full meaning of the Lord's Prayer, we have to decipher what the codes meant within the historical context of early Judaism.
