- Description
- Jensen speaks on the opening line of the Lord's Prayer, “Hallowed be Thy name.” A name is a way into relationship and revelation. Throughout the Bible, names and their meanings play central roles, revealing the character of the person. God allows believers to enter into relationship with Himself. When Moses asked God to disclose Himself, God in mercy revealed His name to the Israelites so they could call upon Him. Having given Himself to His people, God seeks to ensure that His name will not be profaned by them. The opening petition of the Lord’s Prayer asks God to act against His opponents who profane His name through their behaviour. God’s name is also tied to His promises, as seen in Ezekiel 36. The prayer requests God Himself to honour His name, recognising His action rather than focussing on human action. Through this petition, man is humbled in recognition of God's centrality in salvation.
