In this episode of the BibleProject Podcast, the hosts explore the last two lines of the Lord's Prayer, particularly the phrase "lead us not into temptation." They point out that "temptation" often has a negative meaning in today's language, which differs from the biblical idea of "testing." The conversation highlights various instances in the Old Testament where God tests His people, showing how these challenges can reveal character and strengthen faith. They also reflect on Jesus' own testing in the wilderness, underscoring the prayer's raw honesty and vulnerability in recognizing human frailty while seeking divine guidance and protection from evil.
