Study note

Matthew 6:10

  • When the disciples of Jesus pray for God’s kingdom to come soon, they are asking for his justice, righteousness, peace, and mercy to be established.

  • No one rejecting the will of God can enter God's presence (Matthew 7:21; 12:50; 21:28–32).

  • on earth as it is in heaven: This probably refers to all three petitions, not just the third.
