May Your Name Be Sanctified

Pastor Ed Visser

Jesus, as we heard last week, teaches us is to pray to “Our Father,” a reminder of our intimate relationship with God, as well as his promise to care for us as children. Now we turn to a promise of our own: “hallowed be your name” Do we need to make God’s name holy? NO, it already is holy! Then what does Jesus mean by this phrase? What “promise” are we making? We are pledging to sanctify God’s name in words, actions, sacrifice and lifestyle. What does that mean? 
Scripture: Matthew 6:9
