In this prayer Jesus has already, and quite obviously, been cast in the role of the messiah, whose task it is to inaugurate the kingdom of God. In all likelihood, then, this prayer is based on an understanding of Jesus that surely had not been worked out by his disciples until well after the defining experiences of his crucifixion and his resurrection, through which his followers had to walk before their hearts and minds could finally recognize his meaning.
