The Lord’s Prayer: Hollowed Be Thy Name
Scripture Readings:
Ezekiel 36:23 (NKJV)
Matthew 6:9 (NRSV)
Too many times Christians live life in an ugly way—where we live as if God doesn’t exist. We’re cruel to one another. Rather than living in love, we live in hatred. Rather than helping one another, we harm each other. God’s name is not hallowed by this. “Hallowed be thy name” is not a polite wish or a vague hope. No, it’s an imperative. A command. An order—not a wish. Yet at the same time, it’s a command from God to us—Be holy as I am holy. And so we pray to a holy God, make me holy. Make us holy. We pray to live life with greater reverence. Hallowed be thy Name.
