After this manner therefore pray you: Our Father which are in heaven, Hallowed be your name.

– Matthew 6:9

Thoughts on Today’s Verse…

The Lord Jesus taught us to pray for His name, and pray for that God’s name will be magnified and hallowed among all mankind. This is the duty of every Christian of us. As God’s word says: “You should know that, when My work is expanded, I will scatter you, and I will smite you, just as Jehovah smote each of the tribes of Israel. All this will be done in order to spread My gospel throughout the earth, and to spread My work into the Gentile nations, so that My name may be magnified by adults and children alike, and My holy name exalted in the mouths of people from all tribes and nations. In this final era, I will have My name magnified among the Gentile nations, cause My deeds to be seen by the Gentiles, that they may call Me the Almighty on account of My deeds, and make it so that My words may soon come to pass. I will make all people know that I am not only the God of the Israelites, but also the God of all the nations of the Gentiles, even those that I have cursed. I will let all people see that I am the God of all creation. This is My greatest work” (“The Work of Spreading the Gospel Is Also the Work of Saving Man”). From God’s word, we know that God’s name will be spread throughout the world, rather than only Israel; God’s name will be proclaimed and praised among all mankind, regardless of their nations or age. So, we should be mindful of God’s will, share in His thoughts and concerns, pray for His name as well as put forth all our strength to spread God’s gospel.
