The Lord's Prayer: “Hallowed be Your name”



Part of reflection on the Lord's prayer.

“Hallowed be Your name”

John 11 NKJV
27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.”

20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house.
21 Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 
26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”

• Let us revere God by believing Jesus is Christ, the Son of God.

• Martha was emphatic that Jesus is the Son of God, the same Martha whom Jesus rebuked for being worried and upset about many things (Luke 10:41).

• The last verse above; do we really believe this? This is the most important question we will answer. Do we believe that when we died with Christ in baptism through faith, that we died the most significant death and that our physical death will not separate us from Jesus? All of life, even all of eternity for us, hangs on this one question.

• Let us also pray for our loved ones who have not yet put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.

25 January 2021 1 Timothy 5 4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God. Let me share my reflection 7 October 2017 which I have updated. "Grandchildren. Children’s children are a crown to the aged. (Proverbs 17:6) 1 Timothy 5 9 No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband,  10 and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the Lord’s people, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds. Let me make the connection between grandchildren and a widow. Marlou and I recently spent a weekend in Lipa to visit my mother-in-law. We went to Lipa New Hope Church for the Sunday worship service. From the back, I can see the petite figure of "Nanay" (...

6 December 2021 You will be blessed. Deuteronomy 28 3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. 2 All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God. John 13 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. Maundy Thursday. " Maundy (from Old French mandé, from Latin mandatum meaning "command"), or the Washing of the Feet, or Pedelavium, is a religious rite observed by various Christian denominations. This is also seen as referring to the commandment of Christ that believers should emulate his loving humility in the washing of the feet (John 13:14–17). The term mandatum (mandé, maundy), therefore, was applied to the rite of foot-washing on the Thursday preceding Easter Sunday, called Maundy Thursday. " From Wikipedia " As Jesus was t...

2 January 2021 2 Corinthians 5 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. Happy New Year! 💞 2020 is gone. 2021 is here! God Bless Everyone. Let me share my reflection 17 September 2017. “Bible translation.  We have our own preference which we consider the best translation. I started using a youth Bible, Contemporary English Version (CEV), it was handy being pocket size; it is now worn out. I have now NIV Bible Offline on my cellphone; it has share menu that I can select verses for devotion. This is not literally about Bible translation. From: Soulzer by P.I. Sabbathi. “Four preachers were discussing the merits of the various Bible translations. One liked the KJV best because the English is simple and beautiful; the second preferred ASV because it is more literal from Greek ...
