Скачать или смотреть Understanding 'Hallowed Be Your Name': Reverence for God

Older translations said, “Hallowed be your name.” Maybe you’re not so familiar with the word hallowed. Maybe you don’t use it in everyday language. It’s not a common word. It means to reverence the name as holy — to hold it in honor, to hold it in high esteem. What is it that we should be reverencing as holy? What should we hold in honor? The name of God. “May your name be held in honor, may your name be esteemed and reverenced.” That’s how Jesus begins, that’s the first petition.

The name of God is the summing up of everything He’s revealed to us about himself, everything. So it began at the burning bush when Moses said, “What is your name?” And He said, “‘I Am’ is my name. I Am who I Am. I’m self-existent. No one created me, no one sustains me. I just Am. I always have been, I always will be. That’s who I Am.”
